Andrea

A little about me…
I am a registered dental hygienist with over ten years of clinical patient treatments. My interest in dental care started with a career in dental assisting. My desire grew as I furthered my education to become a certified dental hygienist. I have been a certified dental hygienist since 2004 and an orthodontic dental hygienist since 2015.
In my free time I love weekend getaways to the cottage with my family. I love most outdoor activities such as biking, swimming, boating, hiking and skating. My husband and I enjoy quality time with our two kids and keeping busy. Sometimes you can catch me around Toronto at the beach or parks taking in the fresh air and enjoying life.
I love orthodontics because…
I’ve always been amazed seeing how orthodontics can change a person’s life- by creating that smile that they’ve always wanted and achieving a functional bite. It is very rewarding knowing that I’ve taken a part in creating their new smile. My favorite part of working in an orthodontic office is seeing the bright, excited smiles when it is time for our patients to have their braces removed. It is rewarding to see not only the incredible progress their teeth have made, but also how enthusiastic they are to show off their new smile!
At IKC Orthodontics…
My duties include all aspects of orthodontic dental hygiene. I look forward to being a part of your orthodontic treatment from the day the braces are placed, to the day they are removed.

The exciting transition from start to finish; the smile and the glow on a patient’s face when it’s done. Plus, all of the moments in between!!!! The entire journey is rewarding. I love the day-to-day visits and the interaction with the families. I am there for the patients, simple!

I see you through all aspects of your clinical orthodontic treatment. I work side by side with the orthodontist while perfecting our vision of your smile. The best day for me is when your braces come off and I see the joy from all that you and the orthodontic team have done come to fruition. Your smile makes me happy.
