About Me, Holly!

Hi!

I’m Holly, and I have been a registered dental hygienist in Ottawa, Canada, since 2014.

I believe changing someone’s smile can change their life! It happened to me!

I aim to make it easy for you to access accurate and clear dental information.

Because a healthy mouth = a healthy body.

Keep smiling,

Holly :)
