Dental Hygiene Exams, Cleaning, Whitening, Fluoride & Temporary Fillings
Hello and welcome! I am an independent dental hygienist and have worked professionally in the Kitchener-Waterloo area since 1999 and most recently, in community health.
I am pleased to offer cleaning, whitening and temporary fillings, as well as client referrals to dentists and other health care providers if the need arises. Keeping your smile healthy is my number one priority!
For those that have a busy schedule or for those that cannot travel to the clinic, I offer mobile dental hygiene services to ensure professional dental hygiene care is easily available to everyone. Home or institutional-bound clients are no problem.

Do You Have Any Questions?
WHAT IS THE COST?
I follow the current fee guide established by the Ontario Dental Hygienist’s Association. Individual needs vary, and the fees reflect the time required to perform the client’s specific dental hygiene care. We will discuss fees prior to any services and you will be informed regarding the cost before treatment.
I HAVEN'T HAD A CLEANING FOR A LONG TIME...IS THAT OK?
Yes! It’s never too late to start. Regular oral care is important not only to prevent tooth decay and gum disease, but also for your overall health. I can help get you started on a good oral hygiene routine.
WILL MY INSURANCE COVER ME?
Most insurance companies are reimbursing claims submitted by independent dental hygienists. I will be happy to help you determine what your coverage is.
WHAT IF YOU FIND TOOTH DECAY?
No problem. I will refer you to dental professional, such a dentist, orthodontist, periodontist, or another healthcare professional as needed. I am also able to place a temporary filling until you can get appropriate treatment from a dentist.
CAN YOU HELP ME IF I THINK I HAVE A GUM INFECTION?
Yes, based on my dental hygiene diagnosis, I can prescribe an anti-bacterial rinse. I would also refer you to a dentist for further assessment.
