Dr Tina Farhang
Why did you get into dentistry?
In grade 2, when everyone drew photos of wanting to be a ballerina or a dolphin trainer when they grew up, I drew a picture of a dentist!! My parents would always regularly take me to the dentist and every time I would visit I was more and more intrigued in what they did.
Fast forward almost 20 years later and here I am! I always loved health care and taking care of people, and in dentistry I can do that everyday with the added bonus of (almost) instantly being able to improve someone’s smile and confidence! There’s no better feeling than the excited smile a patient has when they look in the mirror after an appointment!
What is the one piece of advice you’d give someone about oral health and hygiene?
How you take care of your teeth from a young age has such a huge impact on your teeth as an adult, so it’s always good to make sure kids fall into good dental habits early and get comfortable with going to the dentist!

What do you love to do in your spare time?

It’s so rewarding to be a part of a patient’s journey to better oral health
