Under the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), dental cleanings are considered a key part of preventive care — and they are covered, with some limits based on your needs and the plan’s guidelines.
Here’s how often you can expect cleaning coverage under CDCP:
🪥 Standard Frequency
Most eligible patients can receive:
- 1 to 2 cleanings per year, depending on clinical need
- Fluoride treatments, if recommended by your provider
📋 How It’s Determined
The frequency depends on:
- Your oral health status (e.g., presence of gum disease)
- Your dentist’s clinical recommendation
- CDCP policy guidelines
For example, patients with higher risk (smokers, diabetics, history of gum disease) may qualify for two cleanings annually.
💳 Will There Be a Co-Pay?
Yes, if your household income is:
- $70,000–$79,999: 40% co-pay
- $80,000–$89,999: 60% co-pay
- Under $70,000? You may qualify for 100% coverage.
