Dental Therapists
Amy
Dental Therapist
Dental Therapist
Amy was born and raised in Saskatchewan, graduated from high school in a French immersion program and went to the U of S finishing her post-secondary studies at the National School of Dental Therapy in 2008.
Amy is passionate about patient education and loves to pass her many years of knowledge in dental care on to her patients, especially those who may have never visited a dental office in the past. When Amy is not in the office you can find her in the kitchen trying out a new plant-based recipe, in her garden self pollinating her tomatoes with an electric toothbrush (ask her about this-it is true) or planning her next trip abroad.
Amy’s love of travel has taken her to many countries and she has been lucky enough to practice dentistry as far north as Tuktoyaktuk, NT as a dental student and as far south as Peru with Kindness in Action, a volunteer dental organization. If you get the chance to sit in Amy’s chair, you are also likely to hear about her British Shorthair cats, Queen Wilhelmina and Saint Augustine.
She has been a part of the Saskatoon Dental Group team since 2009.
