Meet Emma!

Emma is a Registered Dental Hygienist at Montgomery Dental Centre.

Having spent a great deal of time having work done at the dentist as a child, Emma developed a keen interest in dentistry and oral health. Emma grew up in the village of Edam, Saskatchewan. She graduated from the dental hygiene program at the University of Saskatchewan in 2015 and has been working in hygiene ever since.
Emma moved to Calgary with her husband in 2017 because of their joint love of the mountains and everything Calgary has to offer.

Emma is known for providing gentle cleanings and making nervous patients feel more comfortable with their hygiene visits. Emma loves to see positive changes in a patient’s oral health and enjoys seeing patients come back more confident and ready for their hygiene visits.

When Emma is not working, she loves mountain hiking, drawing and crochet. She enjoys spending time with her close-knit coworkers at Montgomery Dental Centre, her husband, and her cat Elly.

Emma looks forward to meeting you soon!
