Canadian Sports Dentistry Network


Supporting high performance athletes across Canada

What is the Canadian Sports Dentistry Network?


The Canadian Sports Dentistry Network helps make sports dentistry more accessible and coordinated part of athlete care across Canada - from youth and community sport to high-performance environments. Launched at the Pacific Dental Conference in Vancouver BC in March 2026, join our founding members as they discuss their pride and passions in working with athletes at all levels.

JOIN THE NETWORK


We are currently building the Canadian Sports Dentistry Network and welcome interest from dentists, teams, trainers, and sport organizations who share this vision.

If you would like to learn more, express interest, or explore opportunities to collaborate, we invite you to contact us.

Are you a Dentist or a Practice Representative?

By creating a stronger network of engaged dental professionals, we hope to improve access to care and promote a higher standard of oral health support in Canadian sport.

Are You a Sport Team or Organization Representative?

Athletes at every level may be affected by dental injury, untreated oral disease, inflammation, and preventable oral health problems. These issues can affect comfort, confidence, recovery, and readiness to perform.

Our Goals

The Canadian Sports Dentistry Network is being developed to connect athletes, teams, and sport organizations with dentists who have an interest in prevention, protection, and oral health support in sport.

  • Build a network of dentists across Canada with an interest in sports dentistry
  • Support athletes and teams with access to prevention-focused dental care
  • Promote education around dental trauma, mouthguard use, and oral health in sport
  • Encourage collaboration with trainers, physicians, therapists, and other health professionals
  • Help raise awareness of the role dentistry can play in athlete health and performance

Why This Matters

Athletes deserve coordinated, preventive oral health care integrated into their performance teams.

By expressing interest, you are helping establish a national framework to:

  • Standardize screening protocols
  • Improve trauma preparedness
  • Enhance athlete performance readiness
  • Elevate the role of dentistry in sport

Our Vision

Our vision is to help make sports dentistry a more accessible and coordinated part of athlete care across Canada - from youth and community sport to high-performance environments.

We believe that oral health is an important part of overall health, confidence, and performance. Through education, screening, prevention, and collaboration, sports dentists can play an important role in supporting athletes before, during, and after injury.
