Which team are you on? 🦷

💜 Team Electric
💚 Team Manual

Both can do a great job of keeping your smile healthy when used properly, but they each have their own advantages!

✨ Electric toothbrushes can make brushing easier, help remove plaque effectively, and often have built-in timers to encourage brushing for the full 2 minutes.

✨ Manual toothbrushes are simple, affordable, travel-friendly, and can be just as effective when used with the right technique.

So tell us...
Are you Team Electric or Team Manual?

We're curious to see which team comes out on top! 😄

If your gums bleed when you brush or floss, your mouth may be trying to tell you something.

Bleeding gums are often one of the earliest signs of inflammation and should never be ignored. Have you heard that dental health may affect overall health? Bacteria from the mouth can flush into the bloodstream through your bleeding gums, leading to inflammation in the arteries, the heart, lungs, pancreas, brain… The good news? Early intervention and proper home care can make a big difference.

Healthy gums shouldn’t bleed regularly. Gentle, personalized preventive care can help keep your smile healthy and comfortable long-term, while also reducing risks to your overall health!

✨ Small symptoms are worth paying attention to.

Healthy habits start early 💜

Creating positive dental experiences is about more than just clean teeth...it’s about helping children feel comfortable, confident, and supported while learning healthy habits that last a lifetime.

Gentle, preventive care can help build strong smiles and positive associations with dental visits from an early age ✨

A softer approach to dental care ✨

I know that for a lot of people, dental visits aren’t something they look forward to — and that’s exactly why I’ve created a space that feels different.

At Preventive Dental Hygiene Care, everything is designed to be calm, gentle, and never rushed. I take the time to really get to know my patients, understand their needs, and make sure they feel comfortable every step of the way.
My goal is simple — to help you feel at ease and confident in your oral health, without the stress.

Flossing can feel tricky — but the right technique changes everything. ✨

Many people avoid flossing because it feels awkward, uncomfortable, or they’re not sure they’re doing it properly. The truth is, once you learn the right technique, flossing becomes quicker, easier, and far more effective.

Flossing helps remove plaque and food particles from places your toothbrush can’t reach, helping to support healthier gums, fresher breath, and a cleaner smile.

If flossing has ever felt frustrating, you’re not alone — sometimes a few simple adjustments make all the difference.

Need guidance? I’d be happy to help show you the easiest way to floss and make your routine feel simple and effective.

Amazing!

After years of advocacy on behalf of Ontario’s registered dental hygienists, the ODHA’s board and staff are EXTREMELY excited to share the government’s announcement (https://odha.on.ca/y6AS) which is moving forward with the next phase in making scope expansion for registered dental hygienists a reality.

The government has officially directed the College of Dental Hygienists of Ontario (CDHO) to begin the work required to support the expansion of scope of practice, including enabling registered dental hygienists to:
- Prescribe radiographs;
- be a Radiation Protection Officer; and
- prescribe and administer local anesthesia by injection in the orofacial complex.

Today’s announcement has come about through the combined initiative of ODHA and CDHO.

We thank Minister Sylvia Jones for her leadership on this initiative and look forward to continuing to work collaboratively with the government and the CDHO to enable RDHs to practise more thoroughly within their scope of practice and provide important preventive oral care services to more Ontarians.

ODHA is the voice of the profession in Ontario, and we advocate for you to practise to your full scope of practice and expertise.

We are here for you!

✨ A Fresh New Look for Preventive Dental Hygiene Care ✨

I’m so excited to officially share my new logo and brand redesign. This wasn’t just about creating a new look — it was about designing something that truly reflects who I am, how I care for my patients, and the welcoming experience I hope every person feels when they visit. 💜💚

I didn’t want to lose the meaning and personality of the original logo. The first design was an important part of my journey, so many of those thoughtful elements were carried into this refreshed version — simply reimagined in a more modern, polished way.
Every detail has meaning:

🦷 The Tooth represents dental hygiene, oral health, and helping you care for your smile.
🌿 The Natural Elements reflect my gentle, holistic-focused approach and calm environment.
💜 The Heart symbolizes compassion, kindness, and the personal care I give each patient.
👩‍⚕️ The Character was created to feel warm, friendly, and approachable — because I want patients to feel comfortable and at ease.
✨ The Colours were chosen to feel calming, fresh, and uplifting.
The word Care means so much to me, because it is the foundation of everything I do.

Thank you for supporting this exciting new chapter. I’m so grateful to continue caring for this wonderful community. 💜

✨ Today’s the day… it’s finally here ✨�A fresh new look for Preventive Dental Hygiene Care 💜💚
This is something I’ve been thinking about for a few years now — and I may have even asked some of you your thoughts along the way! After 15 years of working independently, it felt like the right time for a refresh.
I wanted it to feel warm, welcoming, and still reflect the “me” you’ve come to know.

Same care… just a new look 🤍
I’m so excited to share this with you!

Something fresh, exciting, and very special is coming to Preventive Dental Hygiene Care. 💜
I’ve been working behind the scenes on a change we can’t wait to share with you — one that reflects who we are, what we value, and the care we love providing every day.
Same warm welcome. Same friendly face.
Just something new to smile about. 😊
The countdown is on… May 1st

Dry mouth, also called xerostomia, results from reduced or no saliva and can affect the health of teeth and gums as well as the enjoyment and digestion of food. Left untreated, dry mouth increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
