Yes — if you’re enrolled in the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), you can use your benefits for emergency dental care, even if the issue happens outside regular clinic hours.
🚨 Step 1: Assess the Situation
Common emergencies include:
- Severe or sudden tooth pain
- Oral swelling or abscess
- Broken or knocked-out teeth
- Bleeding that won’t stop
If it’s life-threatening, go directly to the ER.
🦷 Step 2: Contact a CDCP-Approved Provider
Call your regular CDCP dental clinic — many have after-hours voicemail or emergency lines.
If your clinic is closed, search for a walk-in or 24-hour emergency dentist that accepts CDCP.
Bring your CDCP dental card and ID with you.
💳 What Will Be Covered?
CDCP typically covers:
- Emergency exams
- X-rays
- Pain relief procedures
- Extractions (if medically required)
You may have a co-pay based on your income level.
