  The journey to becoming a young professional dental hygienist in a world of many different fields in health care specialties has begun at a very young age to Ms. Reta Hanna. Her working experience started in 2009 as a dental assistant. She gained hands-on experience in greeting clients, managing files, and exposing her to all dental-related issues and solutions, which expanded her perception of many managerial aspects in anticipation of running her hygienist practice if she ever became independent. In 2008, Reta joined Everest College to obtain her dental assisting diploma by the year 2009. Working as a dental assistant was never enough for Reta; in 2012, she joined the Canadian Academy of Dental Hygiene, Mississauga, to obtain her dental hygiene diploma by the year 2014. Reta is passionate about her work and would always give the time and dedication to her clients in helping them achieve optimal oral health care. All of her past work experience, education merits, and personal traits will naturally help her become a successful entrepreneur and run her practice under Smile Up Dental Hygiene Clinic Inc.
