Amanda Arsenault

Amanda was born in Fredericton but spent nine years of her childhood in Boristown. She is passionate about her career as a hygienist and enjoys connecting with all our patients. You can find her in “The Zen Room” which is a nickname we gave her operatory—rightfully so, where the music is calm, and the lights are dimmed.

She loves doting on her 2 ½ year-old son, Oliver, and loves travelling, going to live music shows, comedy, being outside (especially in Autumn, which is her favorite season), trying out new foods, reading, and drinking coffee. Her and her husband are also huge fans of the horror genre.
