The federal government announced the next phase of the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), expanding eligibility to uninsured Canadians aged 18 to 64. Applications opened throughout May 2025, with coverage beginning June 1, 2025. Eligibility opened by age groups: May 1 (age 55 to 64), May 15 (age 18 to 34) and May 29 (age 35 to 54). This expansion is an important milestone for oral health in Canada, as it will allow many uninsured Canadians to access dental care. However, CDA is concerned about the accelerated timeline, given its original recommendation of a phased 10-month rollout to help dental offices manage increased patient demand. With many regions already facing workforce shortages (particularly in rural and remote areas) a rapid influx of new patients may create further strain on dental offices.
