Advice & Tools for Dental Students

Chances are, you've taken on quite a debt load in your journey towards a career in dentistry. How you navigate and handle this debt can profoundly influence the opportunities you may be able to pursue in the future, whether personal or professional. Wouldn't it be nice if you had access to unbiased expert advice? Wouldn't it be even nicer if you didn't have to pay for it?

Good news! CDSPI provides dental students with complimentary access to non-commissioned, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professionals dedicated exclusively to serving the dental community.

Advisors at CDSPI Advisory Services Inc. are here to help set you up for financial success and to answer common questions such as:

  • How can I live my life and keep my spending (and debt) in check?

  • Which is better for me, a TFSA or an RRSP?

  • What's the best way to save to buy a practice while also saving to buy a house?

  • How much debt should I take on when buying a practice?

  • Should I pay down my loan or invest?
