Most people think a dental hygienist just cleans teeth.
But that’s actually the smallest part of what we do.

If all you needed were clean teeth, you wouldn’t need a trained clinician.
A toothbrush cleans — a dental hygienist assesses and monitors.

We assess your entire mouth, your health history, and risk factors.
We diagnose what’s happening now and what could become a problem later.
We plan care that’s specific to you — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
We implement prevention, treatment, and education to protect your health.
And we evaluate over time, adjusting as your needs change.

Your dental hygienist explains why problems happen,
how to prevent them,
and what your mouth needs to stay healthy long-term.

You don’t just leave with clean teeth —
you leave with a personalized aftercare plan,
ongoing monitoring, prevention strategies,
and support that continues beyond today’s visit.

Cleaning is a moment.
Oral health is a strategy.

People often ask me, “Why do you recommend 3-month recalls? Isn’t that excessive?”

For some people, it absolutely is.
For others, it’s essential.

It isn’t about “more cleanings.”
It’s about monitoring, prevention, and early intervention.

Regular check-ins allow us to:
• Catch changes early
• Support re-mineralization
• Adjust your home care routine
• Add protective treatments
• Help prevent disease before it starts

Oral health isn’t separate from overall health—it reflects it.

If this sounds like you and you’re unsure how often you should be seen, we can do an assessment to determine the right maintenance schedule for your needs.

Because personalized care matters.

2026 is here — and with it, a chance to start fresh.

Every day, we see the effects of people having to put oral health care on hold for a long time.
And rarely is it because they don’t care.

More often, it’s because of circumstances outside their control —
a new diagnosis, changes in mobility, a disability, or health challenges that made access to care difficult or daily routines harder to manage.

We understand the challenges and we are here to help.

We’re meet you where you are, assess your needs, and support you with care that’s thoughtful, respectful, and tailored to you. One step at a time, at your pace.

If you’re ready to take back control of your oral health, we’d be honoured to help.

Every day, we meet families who feel overwhelmed by the responsibility of caring for a parent or loved one.

You’re suddenly trying to make decisions —
and you’re not sure where to start.

They always handled their own dental appointments.
You don’t know who their dentist was.
You don’t know their oral health history.
You’re not even sure if they have dental insurance.

And now, all of that feels like it’s on you.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and you’re not doing anything wrong.

Caring for a parent can feel heavy, especially when you’re trying to make the best decisions without all the information.

That’s why we take the time to talk things through.
To help you understand what their oral health needs are now — and what the next right step looks like.

You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You just have to start the conversation.

We’re here to help. Call us today

Congratulations to Patrick Martin for Mayor of Paradise on your win last night. Looking forward to what you will accomplish during your term as Mayor of Town of Paradise

Earlier this week I had the pleasure of meeting Katherine Peddle of Oral Health Center / Mobile Smiles NL Limited! What an invaluable service for not just our town but all of the Avalon Peninsula! Katherine has created the first fully accessible dental clinic, complete with a chair lift for those with mobility constraints! They take the time to ensure your comfort and alleviate any fears, a huge struggle in our neurodivergent community. Also, with the Mobile unit, Katherine can come to you and your loved ones, and regularly visits long term care facilities. So many of our community are physically unable to get to the dentist office, this is such a tremendous service to offer!
I am elated that Katherine chose Paradise as home for her business and hope more professionals follow her lead, offering accessible care for all! Great job Katherine!

Thanks Phil Rendell for Paradise Town Council
It was a pleasure to meet you! We are grateful for the opportunity to show our space and chat about our shared values for inclusion and accessibility.

I took a night off from knocking on doors and instead had the privilege of visiting a local small business right here in Paradise! Oral Health Center / Mobile Smiles NL Limited provides accessible, barrier-free oral health care to people of all ability levels.

Having spent much of my career in the accessible and adaptive recreation sector, seeing businesses like this open in Paradise is truly exciting. Katherine, Gillian, and their team are helping to build a more inclusive and equitable community.

If elected, I will work closely with the Town to attract more businesses like this to Paradise while also supporting established businesses such as Oral Health Center, ensuring they can continue to operate and provide inclusive services for years to come.

Thank you for welcoming and giving me a tour of your incredible facility this evening! The work you are doing is truly inspiring.
