Taking on the World, One Smile At A Time
Why an independent dental practice? I chose an independent practice to be able to practice how I felt I could make the most impact with clients. If you want a more one-on-one experience where you have the same hygienist every time with a focus on the prevention of oral diseases then I am 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.

I was raised on the west coast of Canada, Vancouver Island and graduated with a 3-year Dental Hygiene Diploma that includes a local anesthetic certification from Vancouver Island University in 2013. Immediately after completing my education, I relocated to Grande Prairie.

In the past, I have participated in volunteering dental hygiene services at different clinics in Grande Prairie as well as in India.

Char
Administrative Assistant
I moved from Ontario to Alberta in 1981, at which time I started my career in the insurance industry. I retired from the insurance industry in 2013. I realized I needed a rest, not retirement, hence I entered the workforce working part-time and casual positions. I was fortunate enough to obtain a position working as an administrative assistant at To The Root Dental Hygiene. I thoroughly enjoy working with Meg the staff, and the public providing professional dental hygiene services in an environment conducive to each and everyone’s needs.
