Health, Medical and Dental Programs in BC

BC Healthy Kids Dental Program
Basic dental coverage is available for children through the Healthy Kids Program. Dependent children under 19 years of age may be covered for dental care if the family is approved to receive premium assistance for BC Medical Services Plan (MSP).

Children are eligible for up to $2000 of basic dental services every two years. This includes services such as exams, x-rays, fillings, cleanings and extractions. Some services are limited. For example, the program does not cover orthodontic treatment. Healthy Kids may not cover all of the costs and there may be additional charges for each visit. Before treatment begins, confirm that your dentist is accepting children covered by the BC Healthy Kids Program, and what part of the services will be covered.

To use the services, take your child’s BC Care Card to the dental office and they will confirm coverage before each appointment.
To find out if your child is covered call 1-866-866-0800 (have your child’s Care Card Number handy) or access the Healthy Kids website. For more information call:
