Dr. Athaide obtained her Bachelor of Health Sciences Honours degree at McMaster University. She then went on to obtain her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry at Western University with honours. Passionate about lifelong learning, Dr. Athaide continues to expand her skill set by taking continuing education courses. She strongly believes that oral health plays an integral role in maintaining overall health, which shows up in her interactions with patients. Her passion for dentistry extends beyond practicing in her local community, and as such, she has provided dental care to underserved communities in Guatemala and Jamaica through outreach missions.
When she’s not seeing you for an appointment, Dr. Athaide is busy planning her next trip, exploring her interest in interior design, or grabbing food at a new spot in the city.
