OTTAWA, ONTARIO – Lena Jensen, a Canadian Dental Association accredited dental hygienist, has joined the staff of Dr. Pamela Li, a TMJ dentist in Ottawa.

During her time there Lena won the Deans Award of Excellence, which is presented to the student with the best aggregate score in theory courses and who consistently strives for excellence as well the Golden Scaler Award, which is awarded to students who have demonstrated outstanding proficiency in client care.
Before working as a dental hygienist, Lena worked as a dental assistant for four years. She has a great deal of experience in the dental field and will be joining Rhonda Cross, who has been working for Dr. Li since 2003, on the hygienist team.
“Lena fits in perfectly with our staff,” said the dental crown and sedation dentistry professional Dr. Pamela Li. “She is warm, friendly and very gentle. It is absolutely wonderful to have her and I think our patients will agree.”
As a dental hygienist, Lena will provide preventative treatment for oral health problems as well as educate patients to promote good dental health.
“The role of a dental hygienist is like being an apprentice to a dentist as she will work side by side with me on a daily basis,” said the implant dentist. “She will be playing an invaluable role in our clinic.”
Some of her duties include, but are not limited to:
- Collecting patient histories
- Removing calculus, stains and plaque from tooth surfaces
- Cleaning and polishing teeth
