Being a dental hygienist as well as a millennial, I can’t help but want to try each and every dental product I come across. It’s only right that I share my highlights with the ones who matter most!
Dental Hygiene Nation
I’m obsessed with DHN sweatshirts and probably own all of their stickers. They’re always coming out with new things and I find myself placing orders every couple of months! A favourite.

TOOTHLIFE
Their scrub caps are an essential for dental professionals everywhere. I wear them almost daily and am constantly getting compliments from my clients!
This Canadian brand also sells tooth themed jewelry and goodies.

Cocofloss
Coconut-derived floss is good for your teeth and good for the environment. The special woven floss is coloured so helps you see the plaque as you pull it off your teeth and it really tastes great!

Your Bazoo
I love what this brand stands for: all of their products are not only sustainable - they can also be completely compostable
(safe some glass)
I was lucky enough to be given a box and I’ve since ordered a floss replacement. I can’t be more impressed with this company!!

Great Choices ✨
Companies I feel reflect my values of sustainability and ethical integrity
It is crucial that businesses make efforts to make more sustainable choices, reduce their carbon footprints and encourage environmental awareness. It comes down to the details like packaging and resource renewability.
I continuously try to make choices in my daily life to be friendlier to our environment and to myself, I invite you to try the products that I have loved and to please send me any and all products that you think I’m missing out on!
Native Deodorant
Clean ingredients that really work! I’ve tried the typical natural deodorants and was never able to feel as comfortable as I did a few days into trying Native. The scents are lovely and last throughout the day. They just came out with plastic-free tubes and it’s safe to say I won’t be buying anything else!
The travel tube is only available in the standard plastic containers, from what I know.

Knotty Knickers
I’ve subscribed to Knotty since I was in college and was thrilled to learn that they are a Canadian company. I have adored receiving a couple pairs of varied styles of underwear every 2 months. It’s really great as the amount of pairs and the frequency of delivery are totally flexible. While I’ve accumulated a lot of underwear, it is truly high quality stuff that lasts!
I’ve pretty much stopped buying underwear and rely on this subscription to keep it fresh and exciting. It’s worth a try!

About Me
Registered Dental Hygienist & Student of Dental Sciences
I’ve been practicing as a registered dental hygienist since July 2017 and I work 3 days a week at an office that I adore in Ottawa, ON! I graduated the youngest of my class and am the baby of my office, I take pride in knowing that I was able to get started early on in a profession that I love. I knew going into dental hygiene that I wanted more out of my career long-term. This became even more apparent once I had joined the workforce at an office where I was very unhappy. I decided that clinical dental hygiene was not what I would do for the entirety of my career and set my next professional goal of completing my degree in dental hygiene (BDSc). I am about halfway through my studies and hope to graduate in the summer of 2023.
