Yes — the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) covers root canal therapy, but coverage depends on which tooth is being treated and whether the procedure is clinically necessary.
🦷 What’s Typically Covered
- Front teeth (incisors and canines): Usually covered without pre-authorization
- Premolars and molars: May require pre-authorization depending on complexity
The plan covers root canal treatment when it is the best option to save the tooth and maintain oral health.
📋 Pre-Authorization May Be Required
- For molars or multi-rooted teeth, your dentist may need to submit documentation (X-rays, clinical notes).
- Approval can take 5–10 business days.
💳 Will There Be a Co-Payment?
- 100% covered if under $70,000
- 60% covered for $70,000–$79,999
- 40% covered for $80,000–$89,999
