Dental Care 101's CDCP in St. John’s
Maintaining good oral health is crucial for your overall health and well-being. Regular visits to a dental professional can lower the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and other serious health issues like cardiovascular disease and stroke. However, a third of Canadians lack dental insurance; in 2022, one in four Canadians reported avoiding dental care due to cost. The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) aims to reduce financial barriers by providing access to oral health care for Canadian residents with a family net income below $90,000 who do not have dental insurance.
Dental care 101, is proud to be a provider under the CDCP. We believe that everyone deserves access to quality healthcare.
To qualify for the CDCP, you must meet all eligible requirements. More information is available on the Canadian government website at

Dr. Sarah RobertsDentist Sarah was born in St. John’s, and was working towards her BSc.(Biology) at MUN when she was accepted into the dental program at Dalhousie University. After graduating with her DDS in 1989, Sarah worked in a very caring family dental practice in Ottawa, before being drawn home in 1993, joining Gillian and her father in their well-established family practice. It must have been a good fit, though she’s in denial about how many years have flown by! Sarah really enjoys the atmosphere of the practice, where you can take the time to get to know your patients, helping them feel comfortable and in control of their dental health. Sarah regularly attends continuing dental education courses, and is especially interested in restoring single crown implants. In her spare time Sarah enjoys adventures with her husband and two children. She is really thankful to have easy access to the beautiful East Coast Trails for hiking and trail running, and also enjoys Nordic skiing, kayaking and camping.
