The basics
What is the CDCP?
A federal dental plan for Canadians without private coverage — built to take the money question out of getting your teeth looked after.
It is administered by Sun Life on behalf of the Government of Canada. Since the phased rollout finished, every age group can apply, and Sun Life pays participating dentists directly — so there is no claim for you to file.
