Hi! I am Jodie. I have had the pleasure of working with the team at EJC Dentistry since 2001. I graduated from the
Dental Hygiene program at Durham College in 2000. From the moment I cleaned my first tooth, I knew I had found my
passion. Although my three daughters keep me busy, I do my best to continue to learn and grow with an ever changing and
