Denise, registered dental hygiene practitioner, owner and operator of Clean Between. Unfortunately, Denise has not been practising dental hygiene since shoulder surgery in 2018. A second surgery was done in late 2023 and she is focusing all of her attention on her rehab and recovery.
Denise has worked very hard to find the right hygienists to provide care for her patients while she continues working on her recovery.

Denise graduated from The College of New Caledonia in Prince George with a Diploma in Dental Hygiene, in 1998. Her passion for oral health took her overseas, where she gained invaluable experience from working directly with highly skilled, knowledgeable dentists and specialists.
In the spring of 2012, Denise completed the DECOD (Dentistry for Persons with Disabilities) program through the University of Washington, which qualifies her to work as a residential care dental hygienist.
Denise constantly educates herself by attending dental conventions, by reading everything available relating to oral health and overall health, she keeps up to date about the newest dental products on the market.
Denise has taken her IST course offered by CHDA in Victoria. IST allows Denise to provide temporary interim restorations in situations where patients are otherwise unable to access dental services.
With over 20 years of clinical experience, you can trust that you will receive the highest
quality of care from Denise.

As a Castlegar native I am happy to be able to practice dental hygiene in the Kootenay’s. I have been practising in the area since 2012 and am looking forward to meeting new patients here at Clean Between.

I graduated with a diploma in dental hygiene from the Vancouver College of Dental Hygiene in 2012. Since completing this program I have remained an avid learner continually increasing my knowledge and clinical skills in all things dental with both in person and on-line continuing education programs. I truly enjoy working with my patients to help them improve their dental health and help educate them to achieve their oral health goals.
I have been on two dental hygiene volunteering trips working overseas with Kindness in Action, a group that provides dental care to those who do not have access to treatment. I enjoy using my skills and experience to help my community here as well and have taken part in the local Rotary Youth Leadership Conference as well as creating presentations to educate others about the local LGBTQ community.
In my free time I enjoy all things “Plants” from carnivorous to orchids, bonsai to fungi, I always like to see things grow! Before I became a dental hygienist I did chef’s training so cooking, fermentation and preserving are also great for bringing family and friends together. When I am not growing or creating in the kitchen I like to cuddle with my two cats Statler and Waldorf.
I am looking forward to getting to know the patients at Clean Between and helping them to achieve optimum oral health.

Natasha, RDH
Natasha has been an RDH for over a decade, with many more years prior in the dental profession. She is now offering rural dental hygiene services in her hometown of Bella Coola. Natasha's passion is to bring services to all people, so she decided to take a bold step and join the Clean Between team. Currently living in Haida Gwaii, the traditional home of the Haida people, she makes fly in visits to provide services to those in need in Bella Coola. Her dental hygiene career has been varied and includes private practice, public health, community services, and volunteering with dental charities. She has lived and worked in the Lower Mainland, Kootenays, Central Coast and Northern B.C. This gives her an understanding of the unique and very different challenges of practising in urban and rural/remote areas as well as private practice, corporate and non-profit environments.
She tirelessly advocates for respectful and equitable access to dental hygiene services for all British Colombians. With the roll out of the new federal dental care plan, she recognizes there needs to be an increased profile and advocacy for expanding the role of RDHs in Independent Practice.
