Have you heard about the new Canada Dental Benefit?
The government is proposing the new interim Canada Dental Benefit for eligible families earning less than $90,000 per year. It would provide financial support for parents and guardians of children under 12 years old if they receive dental care and do not have access to a private dental insurance plan. Children already covered under another government dental program may also be eligible if not all dental care costs are paid by that program.
Families would be able to apply for a payment for each eligible child. Applications are not yet available.
Applications may be available after December 1, 2022 and may include dental services that occur on or after October 1, 2022.
