PEI Dental Hygienists' Association

Congratulations go out to Diane and Betty as they launch this incredible service to long term care facilities in PEI.

Dianne has been an executive on our board for a few years now and we are so happy to see her begin a new chapter in her long standing hygiene career.

✨ Exciting News at Bright Boutique Dental Hygiene! ✨

I’m so excited to share that Bright Boutique Dental Hygiene is expanding!

🚘We’re launching Mobile Dental Hygiene Services for long-term care homes and community care facilities across Prince Edward Island, making it easier for seniors to receive the preventive oral health care they deserve - right where they live.

👋To help lead this exciting new chapter, I am thrilled to welcome Diane Murphy, RDH, to the team.

🌟Diane brings an incredible 35 years of experience as a Registered Dental Hygienist and has dedicated her career to serving our profession and our community.

🏛️ She has served on the College of Dental Hygienists of Prince Edward Island, as a board member during the College’s inaugural year, and is an active member of both the PEI Dental Hygienists Association and the Canadian Dental Hygienists Association.

❤️Most importantly, Diane has a genuine passion for working with seniors and believes everyone deserves access to quality oral health care, regardless of where they live.

🤝Her compassion, experience, and commitment to improving access to care make her the perfect person to lead this mobile dental hygiene program.

💭This has been a dream of ours - to help remove barriers to care and bring professional dental hygiene services directly to long-term care and community care residents throughout PEI.

👏Please join me in giving Diane a very warm welcome! 🦷🎉

Wow what an experience for Betty-Lynn Mugridge!

This is a great reminder to dental hygienists in PEI that their membership with us and CDHA makes them an IFDH member as well.

The CDHA Board of directors elects two delegates to attend these events . There has been Canadian dental hygienists elected to its board and even be President.

IFDH newsletters are shared with you regularly from CDHA and you can attend their virtual AGM and Continuing Education sessions for points. But the opportunity to attend in person must have been amazing.

To learn more contact CDHA directly or our current PEI Board Director Heather Cassidy

What an incredible experience attending the International Symposium on Dental Hygiene 2026 in Milan, Italy! 🇮🇹🦷

I had the opportunity to learn from some of the world’s leading dental hygiene professionals, researchers, and educators. It was inspiring to hear about the latest evidence-based practices, emerging technologies, and innovative approaches that are shaping the future of our profession.

One of my favourite parts of the conference was connecting with dental hygienists from around the world. It was a reminder that, no matter where we practice, we all share the same goal: improving oral health and providing the best possible care for our patients!

As a lifelong learner, I believe continuing education is one of the greatest investments I can make, not only in myself, but in the patients who trust me with their care. I’m returning home with fresh ideas, new perspectives, and plenty of inspiration! ☺️

A huge thank you to the organizers and speakers for putting together such an exceptional event. It was truly an unforgettable experience, and I’m grateful to have represented Prince Edward Island on the international stage.

Now it’s time to put everything I’ve learned into practice! 💙🦷

Welcome to the profession and PEIDHA is here to support you as you begin your career.

PEIDHA wishes to congratulate Island Dental Hygiene for expanding their business and achieving their goals bringing dental hygiene services to Islanders.

We have some exciting news to share!

Island Dental Hygiene now has a new office located at 28C Myrtle Street in Stratford.

This bright, welcoming space gives us a home base for our mobile dental hygiene operations while also allowing us to offer appointments in a clinic setting.

You may have noticed that we’ve recently updated our name and logo. While our look has changed, our commitment to bringing dental hygiene care directly to Islanders has not.

Over the years, we’ve heard from many people that finding and accessing dental hygiene care is becoming increasingly difficult. Because oral health is such an important part of overall health, our goal remains the same: helping more Islanders get the care they need in a way that works for them.

If you’re one of our existing mobile clients, don’t worry. We are still very much on the road and will continue providing mobile dental hygiene services across PEI. We will also continue visiting a number of long-term care homes on a regular schedule.

Having a permanent space simply gives us another way to serve our community and helps us continue growing our services.

We are now booking appointments for the summer.

To book an appointment, give us a call, send a text, email us, reach out through Facebook Messenger, or use our online booking system.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years. Opening this office is something we’ve been working toward for a long time, and we’re excited to see where it takes us next!
