Karen’s Mission:
To Promote Greater Public Access to Preventive
Oral Hygiene Care.
Karen has a lot of understanding and experience with seniors who have Dementia through her in-laws, that have different types of Dementia and are currently living in senior communities. She is very aware of the needs of residents in long-term and retirement homes and is passionate about providing excellent oral care to help seniors maintain their oral health.
I am also a registered provider for the new Canadian Dental Care Program (CDCP). I am sure you have heard of the difficulties people are having finding a provider.
Here is a link on how to apply:
I have seen roughly 30 seniors who are qualified for this plan. They have not had dental care for many years due to affordability and are so appreciative now and I can see them on a routine basis.

We bring dental hygiene services to you or your loved one’s location.
We provide services: bedside, in a wheelchair, Long Term Care Nursing Home, or at long term care facilities
TESTIMONIALS
Thank you very much!
I truly believe that my mom's teeth would not be in as good a condition as they are now without Karen's assistance.
Compassionate Dental Care! Always on the MOVE!
How does aging affect oral care?
- Oral health is a significant factor affecting senior’s quality of life, overall health, and wellbeing. Tooth loss, tooth decay, gum disease, dry mouth, and oral cancers are commonly experienced by older people.
- Often seniors lack the dexterity to brush their own teeth thoroughly.
- Dental hygienists visiting the home on a routine basis can significantly reduce bacteria forming on teeth called plaque.
- Plaque is bacteria that causes cavities, broken teeth, pain, and infections.
- Plaque inhaled when coughing can cause pneumonia.
- All of this affects eating, drinking, and overall wellbeing.
- If a higher level of care is required we can refer to a local dentist.
