Meet the Independent Dental Hygienist

---

 Hi there. My name is Althea Ledgister, and I am the founder and operating hygienist at Spotlight Dental Hygiene.  I began my journey in dentistry as a dental assistant before enrolling in the dental hygiene program at George Brown College where I graduated with honours in 2004. 

 It has been so rewarding improving the oral health and well-being of hundreds people for over 20 years, while building meaningful connections along the way.  Hearing directly from patients what they value most regarding their dental care needs, led me to the decision to move to a space where I could provide those things, outside of a traditional dental office setting.  

 As of August 2024, I am dedicating my time to providing direct-access dental hygiene services in a dental hygiene clinic, where high-quality care focused on patient needs is the priority. Your time and your choice of dental hygiene care provider deserves to be respected. 

  I’m so proud to be bringing brighter smiles and better health to the Richmond Hill community—and I’d love to welcome you to the clinic!
