Barbara (Barb)
Registered Dental Hygienist

I’ve been a dental hygienist at the Kanata North Dental for the past 15 years. I’ve been in the dental field for over 20 years. First practising as a dental assistant in Toronto and Barrie, Ontario, then later obtaining a Dental Hygiene Diploma at The Toronto College of Dental Hygiene, and then practising as a hygienist in Barrie. I moved back to my hometown of Ottawa over 15 years ago where I was lucky to have found Kanata North Dental who have now become family. I have developed a great rapport with many of my clients and their families. I am passionate about giving compassionate care for my clients, always providing a safe, happy, comfortable environment and being empathic to individual needs. It is very rewarding seeing clients return to their routine appointments, or seeing clients through braces and seeing the final results. I enjoy playing bass guitar in a band on my off time, as well as doing yoga and most recently playing pickleball.
Tulli

Hi there! My name is Tuli, a dedicated Registered Dental Hygienist with a passion for creating healthier smiles. I strive to make every dental visit a positive and educational experience for my patients. I earned my dental hygiene degree from Algonquin College and have since focused on providing comprehensive care that goes beyond cleanings. I’m committed to helping patients understand the vital connection between oral health and overall well-being while empowering them with the knowledge and techniques needed to maintain optimal oral health. Whether it’s your regular cleaning, addressing gum health, or educating you about oral hygiene practices, my goal is to make every visit positive and informative. I pride myself on building strong relationships with my patients, tailoring care to meet individual needs, and ensuring a welcoming experience for all. When I’m not in the office, you’ll find me exploring local trails with my family, trying out new recipes, staying organized at home, and giving back to the community through volunteer work at health events. I’m excited to partner with you on your journey to a healthier smile. See you at your next appointment!
