A Bancroft practice with a clear point of view.

Wellness Dental Hygiene is Patricia Bandy's independent dental hygiene practice, built around prevention, researched product choices, patient education, and a calmer experience for people who need it.

Meet Patricia Bandy, RDH

Patricia was born and raised in Bancroft. After graduating from Dental Assisting and Dental Hygiene at Georgian College in 1997, she built her career locally before opening her independent dental hygiene practice in 2020.

Her approach is practical and researched. Patricia spends significant time evaluating product choices, looking for cleaner options and lower-toxin materials that support oral health without defaulting to the most aggressive intervention first.

  • Prevention-first dental hygiene and practical education
  • Clean product and material awareness
  • Airway and myofunctional patterns considered when relevant
  • A calm, explanatory style for anxious patients and families

What guides the appointment.

The practice uses conventional dental hygiene training, then adds Patricia's attention to products, exposure, habits, and patient understanding.

Clean choices

Product choices are not an afterthought. Patricia reviews what she uses and why.

Low-toxin awareness

When a lower-toxin option is reasonable, it belongs in the conversation.

Patient education

Patients leave with a clearer understanding of their mouth, habits, and next steps.
