joanna dennie

I am a dedicated and detail-oriented Dental Hygienist with a strong background in patient care, oral health education, and clinical practice. With a proven ability to build trust and rapport, I strive to create a calm, supportive environment for patients of all ages. My training has given me a deep understanding of oral–systemic health, preventive care, and the importance of personalized treatment planning.

Beyond technical expertise, I bring excellent communication skills, adaptability, and a commitment to continuous learning. Colleagues describe me as empathetic, reliable, and highly organized — qualities that allow me to manage complex responsibilities with professionalism and care. Currently on maternity leave, I am eager to re-enter the field with fresh perspective and the same passion for improving patients’ oral health and overall well-being.
