Experience You Can Trust
Rooted in Independent Care
Rooted in Grande Prairie since 2019, To The Root Dental Hygiene was created to make preventive dental care more accessible, especially for those who face barriers to traditional dental offices. We were the first independent hygiene clinic in Grande Prairie, and while others have joined the field, we are proud to remain the most established. Our approach has always been about showing up where we are needed most: in homes, care facilities, schools, and a quiet clinic space where everyone is welcome. Over the years, we have built lasting relationships, embraced new programs like the CDCP, and stayed true to our roots.
I chose the independent path to provide care that’s truly personal—where every client is seen, heard, and supported by the same hygienist each visit. We have grown alongside our community, continually adapting and innovating with a focus on prevention, connection, and compassionate care. If you’re looking for a one-on-one experience grounded in trust and tailored to your needs, I’m here as your Registered Dental Hygienist.
To The Root
I always knew I wanted to work independently. In my dental hygiene program at VIU, we were taught about the different areas a hygienist could work in. In 2017, my dad wasn’t well. I wasn’t able to get him to get his teeth cleaned prior to his passing even though he really wanted it done. I was back and forth between Vancouver Island and Grande Prairie, so it was difficult with all his other medical appointments and my job in a different province.
I decided then that I couldn’t be the only person who wasn’t able to do that, and my journey began in building my dental hygiene practice in Grande Prairie in April 2018. Fast forward to Feb 2019 I opened my mobile service, and then in November 2019, my storefront clinic located in Grande Prairie was ready to go. Sometimes the universe puts everything in place for you, and you just have to follow through.
What Does This Mean For Clients?
I try to create a healthy dental hygiene foundation with each person, so they want to come back and look forward to it. I am flexible with time and needs. Each person is treated as they need or request.
