Lela
My name is Lela and I am the hygiene coordinator here at Lynden Hills
Dentistry. I was born in Guyana (the only English speaking county in South America) and now
reside in Brantford. My focus has always been business and Finance but then found an interest in
the medical field. I decided to go back to school and achieved my MOA Diploma and started

working towards achieving overall health and wellness for all our family of patients.
I believe in balance so naturally I enjoy my time away from work as well, I’m

home with my husband and three boys. We love fishing, singing, playing music, dancing and
traveling near and far.

I began my healthcare career in India as a dentist, where I developed a strong foundation in dentistry and patient care. Since continuing my career in Canada as a Dental Assistant, I have gained valuable experience working alongside dentists and supporting a wide range of dental procedures.

I am passionate about patient education and spreading awareness about the importance of oral health and preventive care. I also value continuous learning and look forward to growing both personally and professionally within the dental field.

My approach goes beyond traditional dental hygiene, with a focus on prevention, education, and personalized, evidence-based care. I strive to make every visit comfortable and welcoming by providing gentle hygiene care and comprehensive oral cancer screenings while helping my patients work toward healthier smiles and long-term wellness.
Throughout my career, I have been honoured with several awards, including Valedictorian, Clinical Excellence, and the 2025 Growth Award. My educational background in both science and business has given me a well-rounded perspective on patient care and leadership.
What I value most about my career is the opportunity to build meaningful, long-lasting relationships with my patients and their families while supporting them in achieving their healthiest smiles and best quality of life.
Outside of dentistry, I love spending time with my husband and our two boys, boating on beautiful Georgian Bay, and competing in dressage with my horse, Kalypso.
