The PDSP is intended to provide coverage to eligible pensions for dental services and supplies that are not covered under a provincial or territorial health or dental care plan.

The Pensioners’ Dental Services Plan (PDSP) is a voluntary dental plan established by the federal government in 2001. It provides dental coverage to eligible federal pensioners and their family members who qualify, including survivors. Access the client sign-in page by visiting the PDSP member services website.
Remember, the PDSP is voluntary, so you need to be enrolled to have access to these benefits. If you are planning to retire soon, contact the Government of Canada Pension Centre for the PDSP form. If you are already retired or have become entitled to a survivor pension, contact your pension office to enrol.
Where can I go for more detailed information about the PDSP?
All the terms and conditions of the plan are set out in the PDSP Plan Rules. However, the PDSP member booklet is a handy reference tool that summarizes the plan in a way that many find easier to read. If you’re looking to learn more about enrolment, be sure to check out the PDSP enrolment information and plan summary.
What are the PDSP contribution rates?
PDSP costs are currently shared between the Government of Canada and plan members on a 50:50 cost sharing basis. Up-to-date contribution rates can be found by visiting the Government of Canada online.
