Dental Assistant

Jess

Dental Assistant

As a child, Jess loved going to the dentist as she thought it was so exciting when they’d put your picture on the wall for being cavity-free! She thought dentistry would be an awesome career to pursue and graduated from Medix College for dental assisting. She has been an assistant for over 13 years now, and has been at Clarence Street Dental for over 4 years. Despite the fact the dentist she works with loves root canals, she says she doesn’t have a favourite procedure. She says each patient is so different that every appointment is interesting! Jess is absolutely in love with her sons, Bodhi and Griffin. But when she does get free time she loves to eat out and try new foods. And she says she can’t forget about her love for all things Harry Potter!!!
