Oral Health
Canadian Dental Care Plan
Starting June 27, applications for the Canadian Dental Care Plan will open for children under 18 and for people 18-64 year old with a valid Disability Tax Credit.
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) will help ease financial barriers to accessing oral health care for eligible Canadian residents.
Applications will open in phases. Find out when you can apply.
Provincial program eligibility has not changed, and people can continue to apply to and use existing programs.
Good oral health is important to a child’s overall health. The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit offers oral health information, programs, and services to promote early dental care that helps support good oral health for a lifetime.
Oral Health staff can provide preventive services to eligible children and teens ages 17 years and under at our Oral Health Clinics in Leeds, Grenville and Lanark Counties.
For more information on Oral Health Clinics, please review our Preventive Dental Services page.
