CDCP Renewal Process and Other Updates

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) renewal period will open April 15. You can find key information, including important dates, renewal requirements, and provider responsibilities, in the latest Provider Factsheet (2026) (français). Remember that your patients' existing CDCP coverage remains valid until June 30 even if they have not yet renewed. A change in co-payment would only apply as of July 1—the start of the new benefit period that runs from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027. Other important CDCP updates are detailed in the March 3 CDCP Oral Health Provider Newsletter (français), produced jointly by the Government of Canada and Sun Life.

National Public Awareness Campaign in April

CDHA works hard to raise public awareness of dental hygiene, oral health, and the essential role of dental hygienists, especially leading up to National Dental Hygienists Week™ (NDHW™) in April.

The campaign will reach a total audience of more than 6 million on TV and generate half a million YouTube video views. Check our website the last week of March for the full broadcast schedule.
