If you searched for “dentist near me” and are wondering whether the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) covers Root Canal Treatment (RCT), the answer is yes — in many medically necessary cases. At Toothcrew Family Dental, we help patients in Douglasdale, Douglasglen, Quarry Park, Riverbend, and SE Calgary receive timely root canal care while navigating CDCP requirements smoothly.
When Does CDCP Cover Root Canal Treatment?
CDCP may cover root canal treatment when:
A tooth is infected or abscessed
Deep decay has reached the nerve
Trauma has damaged the tooth pulp
Root canal treatment is required to save the natural tooth and relieve pain
Early treatment not only stops infection but can also prevent extractions and more complex procedures.
What Type of Root Canal Treatment Might Be Recommended?
Depending on the tooth and severity of infection, our dentists may recommend:
Anterior (front tooth) root canal treatment
Premolar root canal treatment
Molar root canal treatment (often more complex)
Following RCT, a dental crown is frequently recommended to protect the tooth and restore full chewing function.
