Victoria’s Read

Anne-Marie Nadeau always knew that she wanted a career in health care and when Bill 171 was finally passed allowing hygienists to practice without requiring permission from a dentist, she decided to open her own business.

Anne-Marie is a wife and mother of two young children. “My daughter is 7 and my son is 5. They like the fact that mommy has her own office.”

Her husband, Michael has always been a positive reinforcement in Anne-Marie’s life. “My husband is supportive and encouraging.” The couple met in Toronto and moved to North Bay 7 years ago. “I like it here. You are never more than five minutes away from anything by car.”

With a two year course through Saint Clair Collage in Windsor and 14 years of dental hygiene experience, Anne-Marie opened Brilliance Dental Hygiene and Whitening in July 2008. “I love being in business for myself. I’ve never been happier in my career. Juggling work and home life is much easier now that I am my own boss.”

Brilliance Dental Hygiene and Whitening is located at 150 Main Street West, North Bay. Anne-Marie’s goal was to offer more affordable dental hygiene services to the general public. As well, she offers Saturday and evening appointments for your scheduling convenience. The business offers dental cleansing, whitening, sealants and athletic mouth guards.

Anne-Marie would like to thank Graham Hodges at TD Canada Trust for his assistance. “I would also like to thank Gino and Karen Bitonti for their continuing help and support.”
