The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) has helped many Canadians access affordable dental care, including preventive treatments, cleanings, fillings, dentures, and more. If you are currently enrolled in the CDCP, it is important to renew your coverage on time to avoid interruptions in your dental benefits.

At Kanata South Dental Clinic, we are happy to help patients understand their CDCP coverage and guide them through the renewal process.

Why CDCP Renewal Is Important

Your CDCP coverage is not automatically guaranteed every year. The Government of Canada may require eligible patients to renew their application and confirm updated information such as:

• Household income
• Tax filing status
• Residency status
• Eligibility requirements

If your renewal is not completed on time, your dental coverage may be interrupted, and you could become responsible for treatment costs until your coverage is reinstated.

When Should You Renew Your CDCP Coverage?

Most patients should watch for renewal notices from the Government of Canada. Renewal reminders may be sent by:

• Mail
• Email
• My Service Canada Account notificationss

It is recommended to complete your renewal as early as possible to prevent delays in coverage.

• Social Insurance Number (SIN)
