Mighty Molar Kamloops Welcomes Natalie Ego — And She’s Kind of a Legend
If you’ve been in Kamloops for any length of time, there’s a good chance you’ve already met our newest dental hygienist, Natalie Ego — or at least, your teeth have.
With more than 30 years in the community and a career dedicated to helping people feel good about their smiles, Natalie brings an incredible mix of experience, heart, and humour to Mighty Molar.
Here’s a fun fact: she’s cleaned over one million teeth (yes, really). But what stands out even more than her skill is her ability to make even the most anxious patients feel relaxed and cared for. If you’ve ever put off a dental cleaning because of nerves, Natalie might just change your mind — she’s known for turning dental anxiety into genuine comfort (and often, a few laughs).
Why Mighty Molar?
For Natalie, joining the Mighty Molar team felt like coming home. As a mom of two and lifelong Kamloops local, she loves being part of a clinic that’s rethinking dental care — one where focused, preventative hygiene is the whole point. “Mighty Molar really fills a need here,” she says. “It’s a place where patients can come for the care they actually want — simple, thorough, and stress-free.”
Outside the Clinic
When she’s not helping Kamloops smile a little brighter, Natalie’s likely daydreaming about more hours in the day — for Latin dance lessons, yoga, and piano practice. Until then, she’s channeling that same passion and rhythm into her work, one happy patient at a time.
We’re thrilled to have Natalie on the team — and we think you will be too.
Come say hi, and let her show you how fun (and relaxing) your next cleaning can be.

Why She Became a Hygienist Here's the thing about Haley: she became a dental hygienist for the right reasons. Growing up, her own hygienist didn't just clean her teeth. She built trust. She educated. She made Haley feel genuinely cared for. And that stuck with her—the realization that this is a career where you can make a real difference in someone's life every single day. That's the kind of hygienist she wanted to become. And that's exactly the kind of hygienist we wanted on our team. Why Mighty Molar? When Haley discovered Mighty Molar, it clicked. A practice that's all about prevention? Where hygienists get quality time with clients without the pressure and chaos? Where focused, thorough care isn't just a nice idea—it's the entire business model? "That's exactly the kind of hygiene I want to practice," she told us. We get it. Because that's exactly why we built this place. What This Means for You More availability. More appointment options.

When most people think of dental care, they picture a traditional clinic with a dentist, hygienists, and assistants all working together. At Mighty Molar, we do things a little differently. As Kamloops’ first hygiene-only clinic , our focus is simple: helping you achieve and maintain a healthy smile through prevention, education, and personalized care. But what does “hygiene-only” really mean—and why does it matter for you and your family? Let’s break it down. 1. Prevention is Our Priority In many traditional dental settings, prevention sometimes gets overshadowed by treatment. At a hygiene-only clinic, our focus is 100% on prevention. That means: Thorough cleanings tailored to your needs Regular fluoride and desensitizing treatments Early detection of gum issues or decay before they become major problems By prioritizing prevention, we help reduce the need for costly or invasive treatments down the road. 2. Comfort Without the Stress For many, visiting the dentist can feel intimidating. A hygiene-only clinic offers a more relaxed, spa-like environment because you know you’re coming in for maintenance and care—not fillings, drills, or extractions. Our team works hard to create an atmosphere that feels calm, comfortable, and welcoming. Think of it as oral care without the anxiety. 3. Cost Transparency & Control At Mighty Molar, we keep things simple and straightforward. You’ll always know what services you’re receiving, how long your appointment will take, and what the investment will be. With our clear, unit-based pricing system, there are no surprises—just high-quality care that respects your budget. 4. Personalized Care That Fits Your Lifestyle Because our focus is entirely on dental hygiene, we’re able to dedicate more time to education, prevention tips, and tailored routines that fit your lifestyle. Whether you’re a busy parent, a teen with braces, or someone looking to brighten their smile, we adapt care to meet your unique needs. We also offer flexible scheduling, online booking, and evening/weekend appointments , making it easy to keep your oral health a priority. 5. A Partner in Your Long-Term Oral Health Choosing a hygiene-only clinic means building an ongoing relationship with your hygienist. We get to know you, your family, and your oral health goals—so every visit builds on the last. When you need additional dental treatment, we’ll collaborate with trusted local dentists and specialists, ensuring you get seamless, coordinated care. A hygiene-only clinic is more than just a different type of dental office—it’s a new way of putting you and your oral health first. At Mighty Molar, we believe prevention, comfort, and transparency are the keys to a healthier, happier smile. Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, we’re here to make dental hygiene the easiest (and maybe even most enjoyable) part of your self-care routine. 👉 Ready to experience the difference?

At Mighty Molar, we believe in giving you the facts when it comes to maintaining a healthy, happy smile. There’s a lot of misinformation out there about dental care, so let's take a moment to clear up some common myths and set the record straight. Charcoal Toothpaste Can Be Abrasive While charcoal toothpaste has become popular for its whitening effects, it’s important to know that it can be too abrasive on your enamel. Over time, this can lead to tooth sensitivity and enamel damage. Stick to gentle, fluoride-based toothpaste for daily use to keep your enamel strong and protected. Fluoride Is Your Friend Fluoride isn’t something to fear — it’s a key ingredient that strengthens enamel and helps prevent cavities. Regularly brushing with fluoride toothpaste provides your teeth with the protection they need against decay and damage. Bleeding Gums Aren’t About Brushing Too Hard If you’re noticing bleeding gums, it’s not because you’re brushing too hard. In fact, it’s usually a sign of gingivitis — an early stage of gum disease caused by plaque buildup. Regular brushing and flossing can help reverse this, but if it persists, you may need to see your dentist for a thorough cleaning and advice on gum care. Oil Pulling: A Fresh Mouth But Not Much Else Oil pulling might leave your mouth feeling fresh, but it doesn’t actually remove tartar or bacteria that can build up below the gum line. While it may have some benefits for freshening breath, it shouldn’t replace regular brushing, flossing, or professional cleanings. No Pain Doesn’t Mean No Problem Did you know that gum disease often develops without any pain? It starts off silently and can lead to serious issues like tooth loss if left untreated. Even if you aren’t feeling discomfort, it’s important to stay on top of your oral health with regular checkups. Baby Teeth Matter More Than You Think Your child’s baby teeth are essential for more than just chewing. They play a crucial role in speech development, eating, and helping adult teeth emerge in the right place. Taking care of baby teeth sets them up for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Dental Hygiene Is Preventative Healthcare Dental hygiene isn’t just about getting your teeth polished. It’s preventative healthcare that helps you avoid serious issues like cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss. Brushing and flossing regularly is one of the most important steps you can take for your overall health. Tartar Is More Than Just Cosmetic Tartar is hardened plaque that traps bacteria, fueling the development of gum disease. It’s not just a cosmetic issue — it’s a health concern. Regular cleanings with your dentist are necessary to remove tartar buildup and keep your gums healthy. The Bottom Line Healthy teeth and gums are essential for your overall health, and good dental hygiene habits are your best defense against future problems. At Mighty Molar, we’re here to provide you with the expert care you need to keep your smile shining. If you have any questions about your dental health or need advice on oral hygiene, don’t hesitate to contact us today!
