Haifa – Dental Administrator
My name is Haifa, and I work as an administrative professional. I’ve been a part of the Forest Heights Family Dental team since 2017. I completed my dentistry degree in Tunisia in 2003 and became an RDA in Alberta in 2017. I was born and raised in Tunisia, and I’m happily married with three children (no pets yet, though!). Fun fact: I’m still working on mastering the art of bike riding! I’ve also volunteered for school field trips with kids and love to travel and explore history.
In my profession, I take joy in helping people and positively impacting their lives. My favourite quote is, “Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy.”
Luma – Dental Administrator
Hi, my name is Luma. I began my career as a dental assistant by completing a practicum and then moved into dental administration within a year. I received my Dental Assistant Certification from CDI College in Calgary, AB, in 2020.
I was born and raised in this city and love discovering new cafes around town. I’m a social butterfly and enjoy hanging out with family and friends. I strongly believe in the adage, “What goes around comes around.” This statement serves as a constant reminder for me to be kind and optimistic and treat everyone with respect.
Sana – Dental Assistant
Hi, I’m Sana, a dedicated Registered Dental Assistant (RDA) passionate about patient care. I graduated in 2019 from a top Calgary institution and joined Forest Heights Dental in 2020, finding deep fulfilment in improving patients’ oral health. From Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, I journeyed to Pakistan for my Dental Surgery degree.
Beyond work, I’m a proud wife and mom of two boys, cherishing family time through travel, TV shows, and cooking. My favourite quote is, “There are two ways to live a pleasant life – either in someone’s heart or in someone’s prayers.”
One of the most rewarding aspects of dentistry is being able to assist patients with their dental needs and seeing the joy on their faces when they smile.
Shakila – Dental Assistant
Semhar – Dental Assistant
Hi there! I worked as a dental and sterilization assistant and graduated from Orrota School of Medicine and Dental Medicine in Eritrea in 2015. I was born in Eritrea and happily married with one child. I enjoy cooking, listening to music, watching movies, and reading in my free time.
It’s important to remember that dental pain not only has physical effects but also psychological ones. One of the things I love most about working in a dental office is being able to help people from all different communities.
