CDCP Update for All Members

The Government of Canada is continuing its Member Eligibility Review (MER) for the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) to ensure the program serves only eligible clients and maintains responsible use of public funds. Clients found ineligible for coverage will be removed, so it’s essential for your office to verify eligibility at every appointment. For details, see the MER fact sheet (français) and check your December 21 email for more CDCP updates and reminders.

Updated 2025–2027 Dental Hygiene Research Agenda

CDHA has released its refreshed 2025–2027 Dental Hygiene Research Agenda—a strategic framework to guide research across the profession. This update, available in English and French, introduces a new “health and safety” domain and renames “risk assessment and management” to “oral health frameworks.” With refined priorities, the agenda supports evidence-informed practice, encourages collaboration, and remains a key resource for clinicians, researchers, and knowledge users as they engage in research activities.

2026 National List of Service Codes

The 2026 National List of Service Codes has been updated in English and French and is ready for use by independent dental hygienists. It has also been shared with all appropriate stakeholders in the insurance industry. Please check with your provincial association for their 2026 dental hygiene fee guides.
