What is Canada Dental Benefit?

Highland Creek Dental has adopted the Canada Dental Benefit Program and is accepting patients who want to use this Government subsidy. The Canada Dental Benefit is intended to help lower dental costs for eligible families earning less than $90,000 per year.

Depending on your 2022 adjusted family net income, a tax-free payment of up to $650 is available for each eligible child under 12 years of age. This interim dental benefit is only available for 2 periods and you can only get a maximum of 2 payments for each eligible child. Benefit payments are administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

The first benefit period is for children under 12 years old as of December 1, 2022 who receive dental care until June 30, 2023. Payable amount is based on family’s adjusted net income of 2022 as per below:

1. $650 for each eligible child if the family’s adjusted net income is under $70,000
2. $390 for each eligible child if the family’s adjusted net income is between  $70,000  and  $79,999
3. $260 for each eligible child if the family’s adjusted net income is between $80,000 and $89,999
                

Note: Eligibility is not impacted by coverage under provincial, territorial or other federal programs. In order to claim the Canada Dental Benefit, applicants covered under provincial, territorial or other federal programs must have out-of-pocket expenses. If all their expenses are covered by another program, they are not eligible. Please click and see the below link for more information:
