Nadine Audette

Registered Dental Hygienist

After having braces and seeing her own smiles transformation, Nadine realized she wanted to help others achieve the same confidence that comes from having a healthy smile. Nadine completed the Dental Assisting Program passing her NDAEB in 2013 before continuing her education to later graduate from the Dental Hygiene Program in 2017 at Algonquin College. She enjoys educating her patients on their oral health and has their best interest at heart. The environment at 150 Elgin Dental is just what Nadine was looking for; she enjoys the pleasant atmosphere and being part of a caring team that provides individualized treatment to each patient. In her free time Nadine loves running and is currently training for her second full marathon.
