Krista

Treatment Coordinator / Dental Hygienist

I have had the pleasure of working with the Trites Orthodontic team since 2009. I am a orthodontic hygienist and I am also the person you will see at your first visit to our office. I will help you get started with your orthodontic treatment. I love seeing the difference a nice smile can make in helping someone feel more confident. The best thing about working with Dr. Trites is his bad jokes and his unique singing voice, he knows how to make anybody smile, and his personality helps make our practice a truly fun place to be. What I love about my patients is helping them learn new things about their teeth and working with them to achieve their outstanding smiles.

I am a native of Halifax. My husband and I share two beautiful daughters who are four and two. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family, fine dining, listening to live music, and traveling. Something you may not know about me is that my father is an orthodontist in Halifax, so it would be safe to say that I was born to smile, and work in orthodontics!
