Summary

Harbourview Elementary School


I took immense pride in my role in dental care for children aged 5-12. Going beyond the routine tasks of debridement and ensuring infection control, my focus extended to building meaningful relationships. By delivering exceptional oral hygiene care, I actively contributed to cultivating a healthy and welcoming environment. This approach not only fostered smiles but also promoted overall well-being within the vibrant school community.


North End Community Health Centre


I dedicated myself to serving the lower-income

community. Conducting oral hygiene procedures, taking X-rays, and maintaining a sterilized operatory, I prioritized patient safety and comfort. It was a fulfilling experience contributing to dental health in a community-focused setting, fostering well-being and accessibility for those in need.


Camp Hill Veterans Memorial Rotation


My commitment extended to individuals aged 70 and over in long-term care. Beyond routine oral health maintenance, I cleaned and addressed prosthesis issues. Education on oral hygiene underscored my care approach. Establishing meaningful connections with these seniors, I prioritized safety and comfort. Through comprehensive oral care, I aimed to enhance their well-being, recognizing the importance of a holistic approach in elderly patient support.


Government Assistance Program Clinic


Working at the clinic I was dedicated to serving newcomers who lack access to oral health care is a rewarding and impactful experience. Our commitment revolves around empowering individuals with essential oral hygiene instructions, ensuring they understand the importance of maintaining good dental health. In addition to education, we provide vital services such as debridement, addressing immediate oral health needs. By offering access to comprehensive dental care, we strive to bridge the gap and enhance the overall well-being of newcomers. Witnessing the positive transformation in individuals who gain not only improved oral health but also a sense of empowerment and inclusion within their new community is truly fulfilling.
