Our Story — A Mother-Daughter Journey Into Holistic Oral Health
Our Holistic Dental Journey: Prioritizing Your Well-being
Holistic Dental Hygiene: A Practice Focused on Your Overall Health
Our journey began long before we opened our clinic doors. Marissa and I spent many fulfilling years providing dental hygiene care to seniors at the Brenda Strafford Foundation nursing homes in Calgary — and it was there, getting to know our residents and genuinely caring about their oral health and quality of life, that the foundation of our holistic philosophy was born.
In 2010, we experienced a deeply personal loss when my father — and Marissa's grandfather — passed away from bone cancer. That experience set us on a path of learning, questioning, and understanding the profound connection between oral health and whole-body wellness. It changed everything about how we approach care.
By 2014, we were ready to bring that vision to life. We opened our storefront clinic with one clear purpose — to offer a truly holistic, biological approach to dental hygiene that looks beyond the teeth and considers the whole person. We continue to deepen our knowledge by attending leading conferences including IABDM, HDA, and IAOMT in the United States, staying at the forefront of biological and integrative oral health care.
We believe that a biological, integrative approach is the key to lasting health — because your mouth is not separate from your body, and what happens in one affects the other.
We warmly invite you to join our family here at Holistic Dental Hygiene. 🌿
