Family Dental Care by Age Group — Hamilton Ontario 2026
Infants & Toddlers (12 Months — 5 Years)
The Canadian Dental Association and CDCP recommend a child’s first dental visit within 6 months of their first tooth appearing, or by age 12 months. At Red Rose Dentistry, our approach with very young children is:
- No tools in the mouth at the first visit if the child is anxious — just a “tooth count” game
- Parent sits in the chair with the child for security
- Fluoride varnish application (2 minutes; tastes like bubblegum) — CDCP covered
- Eruption guidance: Dr. Khakani advises on teething timeline and what to watch for
- CDCP covers children’s dental from 12 months — no minimum age requirement under CDCP
Children & Primary School (6 — 12 Years)
- Annual X-rays to monitor developing permanent teeth (CDCP covered)
- Fissure sealants on back molars — prevents cavities in the most vulnerable teeth (CDCP covered)
- Fluoride treatments twice yearly — dramatically reduces cavity risk
- Space maintainers if a baby tooth is lost early — preserves space for permanent tooth
- Early orthodontic assessment from age 7 — Dr. Khakani identifies issues while still correctable
Teenagers (13 — 17 Years)
- Wisdom tooth monitoring — X-rays from age 15 to track development and predict extraction need
- ClearCorrect teen aligners — $3,999 all-in by Dr. Khakani MSc Ortho; discreet, removable
- Sports mouth guards — custom-fitted, CDCP covered; far superior to store-bought guards
- Oral hygiene coaching specifically for teens (diet, drinks, phone hygiene reminders)
- CDCP continues through age 17 (dependent on household income)
Adults (18 — 64 Years)
- CDCP coverage if household income under $90,000/year — 100+ procedures free or subsidised
- Full restorative: fillings, crowns, root canals, extractions — all CDCP covered when clinically needed
- ClearCorrect aligners for adult orthodontic needs — $3,999 all-in, no age limit

Seniors (65+ Years)

- Implant-retained dentures for better stability and comfort
- Dry mouth management (common with senior medications) — impacts decay risk significantly
- Oral cancer screening at every exam — risk increases with age; caught early it’s highly treatable
- Denture relines and adjustments as bone changes — Michael Fijolek RD on-site for same-week service
CDCP Family Coverage — Hamilton Ontario 2026
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) applies to every eligible member of your family individually — meaning multiple family members can each receive covered dental care in the same year. Red Rose Dentistry bills Sun Life directly for all eligible family members.
| Household Income | CDCP Family Coverage | Typical Annual Benefit per Member |
|---|---|---|
| Under $70,000/year | 100% of covered procedures | $1,400–$2,000/year per person (based on ODA fee guide) |
| $70,000–$79,999 | 60% coverage | $840–$1,200/year per person |
| $80,000–$89,999 | 40% coverage | $560–$800/year per person |
| $90,000+ | Not eligible | Regular fee-guide rates apply |
Family Tip: CDCP is assessed on household income. For a family of 4 with income under $70,000/year, that could mean $5,600–$8,000 worth of dental care per year at $0 cost. Call us to confirm your family’s specific CDCP eligibility: (905) 527-8055.
