No judgement. Just a plan that makes sense.
Lots of people who now have CDCP coverage haven’t seen a dentist in a long time. There is no judgement here.
We start with what bothers you most, look at the whole picture and help you sort what needs doing soon from what can wait.
Care that fits your life
Six reasons Kitchener families choose Sherwood Dental.
Same day appointments
Checkups, cleanings, fillings and small repairs, often on the day you call, when the schedule allows.
Root canal specialist
Dr. Joshua Ananthan is a board-certified specialist in endodontics, so complex root canals stay right here.
Direct billing and CDCP
We bill most insurance plans directly, so you usually only pay the part your plan doesn’t cover. CDCP patients welcome.
Evening hours
Open until 7 pm on Tuesdays and 6 pm on Thursdays, and from 8 am on Wednesdays.
Gentle with nervous patients
Tell us what worries you most. Nitrous oxide works quickly and wears off within minutes, and most adults can drive home.
Easy to reach
Parking in the Krug Street Plaza and a wheelchair accessible office.
Dr. Joshua Ananthan, endodontist
Root canal treatment at Sherwood Dental is provided by Dr. Joshua Ananthan, a board-certified specialist in endodontics. Saving teeth from the inside is the centre of his work.
An endodontist completes additional years of training after dental school, focused on diagnosing tooth pain and treating the inside of the tooth, including complex canals, retreatment and endodontic microsurgery.

In pain right now?
Severe pain, swelling, a broken or knocked out tooth, or bleeding that won’t stop: call us the same day. We offer same day appointments when the schedule allows, and urgent cases come first.
If swelling is spreading quickly or you have trouble breathing or swallowing, go to a hospital emergency department.
Before you call
Does Sherwood Dental accept CDCP?
Yes. Call us or send a booking request and we’ll help you get set up.
Do I pay anything at my visit?
Possibly. Depending on your income, the plan may pay all or part of its set fee, and some services fall outside what it pays. We explain the fees before treatment.
How do I apply?
Applications go through the federal government, not dental offices. Visit canada.ca for the current steps.
Can I use CDCP for an emergency?
Emergency care is among the covered services. Call us as early as you can and ask about a same day appointment.
Can I see your root canal specialist with CDCP?
Root canal care is among the covered services. Some specialist work may be billed differently, so ask us and we’ll check first.
