Community-Embedded Dental Education
for Access & Reach
Students come here to learn. They stay to make a difference.
Let's teach them where they're needed most.
Come North
A pilot project for 4th Year Dental Students to work with practising dentists in rural communities.
The Program
Learn in a Real Clinical Setting
Students deliver patient care in community dental offices — not simulated labs — where every encounter is real, complex, and meaningful.
Mentored by Practising Dentists
Community dentists serve as clinical supervisors and mentors, bridging the gap between academic training and independent professional practice.
Serve Where Care is Needed Most
Rural Northern Ontario communities face critical dental care shortages. CEDAR students address that gap directly — and gain irreplaceable clinical experience doing it.
