Canadian Dental Care Plan Reaches One Million Beneficiaries

The program has expanded services and aims to cover more Canadians in 2025.

Over one million Canadians have received dental care under the new national insurance plan, with an average savings of $730 per patient.
The Canadian Dental Care Plan has approved 2.7 million residents, focusing on seniors, children under 18, and individuals with a disability tax credit.
The program is set to expand in 2025 to include more Canadians, although the exact timeline for this expansion is still being finalized.
Starting November 1, the plan will cover more complex dental procedures and accept paper claims, increasing accessibility.
Currently, 89% of oral health providers in Canada are participating in the plan, enhancing the availability of dental services nationwide.
