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.

A root canal specialist on site
Pain that lingers or wakes you at night often means the nerve inside the tooth is irritated or infected. Dr. Joshua Ananthan, our board-certified endodontist, focuses on saving teeth like these.
Go to a hospital emergency department if swelling is spreading quickly, you have trouble breathing or swallowing, or you have a serious injury to the face or jaw.
