Hygiene care with heart
Faye Donald's love of her work is immediately apparent to anyone who meets her. She brings the same warmth and attention to detail to every appointment, whether she is carrying out a routine scale and polish or working through a more involved course of periodontal treatment.
Her sessions are always thorough, informative and — thanks to Faye's cheerful manner — a lot more enjoyable than patients might expect.
Making hygiene feel less like a chore
Faye understands that many people feel uncertain or anxious about visiting the hygienist. She works hard to create a relaxed, non-judgmental environment where patients feel comfortable being honest about their habits and concerns.
Her practical, encouraging approach helps patients make sustainable improvements to their oral hygiene routine without feeling overwhelmed.
A whole-person approach to oral health
Faye takes a holistic view of oral health, understanding how factors like diet, lifestyle and stress can affect the mouth. She provides tailored advice that takes each patient's individual circumstances into account, helping them make meaningful, lasting changes.
She works closely with the rest of the Maple Leaf team to ensure patients receive consistent, coordinated care across all their appointments.
"I want every patient to leave feeling informed, motivated and genuinely looked after. Healthy teeth are something everyone deserves."
