Seniors were among the first groups enrolled
The CDCP rolled out to seniors first, and it's now open to eligible residents of all ages. If you're 65+, the same four requirements apply.
Watch the income test for couples
Eligibility uses adjusted family net income — your and your spouse/partner's combined net income. A modest pension can still keep you under the $90,000 threshold.
Pension coverage caveat
If you have dental coverage through a pension (including a government employer pension), that counts as access to private insurance and would make you ineligible. Coverage through a government social program does not count.
Dentures, exams, cleanings and more are covered — see denture coverage.
