Additional Information

Author Bio

Janelle Jones, RDH

Janelle Jones is a registered dental hygienist with 24 years of clinical experience. Growing up in a small town, she knew from the age of six that she wanted to pursue her dream of becoming a dental hygienist. She went to the University of Alberta to complete her Diploma of Dental Hygiene in 2000. She then continued her education by completing her Bachelor of Science with a Specialization in Dental Hygiene in 2001, also at the University of Alberta.

Her career has been very fulfilling, as it has allowed her to improve the lives of her patients while building trusting relationships. She has been fortunate to work alongside many excellent clinicians. Continuing her education, such as training with Kois and becoming certified in laser and GBT she has continually evolved as a practitioner.

With the skills and expertise gained over the years and aways wanting to master the best that the dental industry can offer, Guided Biofilm Therapy was just what she was looking for. This changed her career, re-igniting her passion for dental hygiene. With its modern, systematic, scientific-based approach, she can now offer the best clinical dental hygiene therapy while also providing a comfortable experience for her patients.

Because GBT has upped her game as a dental hygienist, becoming an SDA Trainer and sharing the benefits of GBT with fellow clinicans is a natural next step. She wants others to feel motivated and inspired by her experience, so their passion and commitment to dental hygiene is also re-ignited.
