At Clean Smiles Dental Hygiene, we believe “Prevention” is the way to go. We want our patients to enjoy and relax while having their professional dental hygiene appointment.
We provide affordable dental hygiene services, X-rays and exams so every one has access to dental care and prevention. We direct bill to all dental insurances for our patient’s convenience.
For our patients who don’t have access to dental insurance and find it difficult to afford dental hygiene services, we have designed the first in YEG “Clean Smiles for Community Program”
All the prices for our services are listed on our website.
We believe in being “proactive” rather than “reactive”. The world is changing and people are more aware and smarter about keeping good dental health and avoid dental problems. There is way more to dental health than having dental problems and having to keep fixing them.
Yes! This is a fairly new approach to have a dental hygiene clinic that is dedicated for prevention. We welcome you to give it try and experience this fresh approach for dental care.

Put a Cork In It Wine Tasting + My favorite wines this summer!
Many years ago, I started my career as a Librarian. My career focus was in online information management and accessibility of evidence based medical information. In 2011, I took a career pause to raise 2 amazing boys.
Hands down, one of my favourite activities I have done with friends in a long time was a backyard wine-tasting with Put a Cork in It Wine Tasting. It’s a refreshing feeling to learn more and taste wines I would have probably never purchased on my own before. Other than Bread & Butter Wine, I was introduced to some new wines and learnt the stories behind them while catching up with friends whom I have not seen in quite some time. A+ for value, A+ for unique experience, and totally doing this again!! Learn more about this business and her fav wines at the moment below:
Many years ago, I started my career as a Librarian. My career focus was in online information management and accessibility of evidence based medical information. In 2011, I took a career pause to raise 2 amazing boys. As they reached an age where they were more independent, I looked for an adaptation to my career that would allow me to do something I love while allowing me to choose my own work hours - and I found it in a partnership between my education and my hobby!
Classification of wine, keeping track of specifics, cataloging tastes; are not all that different than the Library world! I took WSET certification Levels 1 and 2, and 3 is in the works (on pause, like many other things, because of COVID). I opened Put a Cork In It Wine Tasting in 2019 and am thrilled on how quickly the idea has caught on in the Edmonton community.
I supply wooden wine flights, professional wine tasting glasses and table décor for your event. My take on wine tasting is a little different than you may be used to. I focus on bringing in interesting wines, wines with crazy back stories and often wines made by the same families for generations. The event is fun and full of laughs. Oh, and I sneak in how to taste wine in there too.
Wine Tastings are a fabulous idea for birthdays, showers, stagettes, stags, date night, or a friends get together. Not to mention Christmas parties, Halloween parties, surprise parties and themed parties. I also offer corporate wine tastings for a fun twist to a social event at the office, a lunch time team building offering, or an interactive addition to a client dinner. In addition, I offer wine tastings for networking events. What a great way to get people together; talking and getting to know each other while learning about wine! I serve Edmonton and area but am also happy to go on the road! Think lake lot wine tasting or wine tasting by camp fire light! I also travel to other cities of course.
With the advent of Covid, and social distancing measures my wine tastings have gotten creative. I bring glasses and wine flights (think a wooden mat with places to hold glasses). This allows guests to hold wine on a tray on their laps if needed, or on the grass without risk of spilling. Driveway wine tasting, backyard tasting in camp chairs on the grass, or on the deck spaced with deck chairs, it all works. Wine tastings start at $20 a person. We discuss what you are specifically looking for and where you are located for an individualized per person quote. This price does not include the cost of wine. This allows me to customize your wine flight to your specific tastes, budget, and numbers attending. Please note, I do not purchase wine on your behalf (AGLC regulations prevents me from doing so). However, I work with two wine stores in Edmonton to arrange your wine for your event and have it delivered to your house. Hosts are billed directly for the wine.
My favorite wines this summer: Bender Pinot Noir. This is a crisp, clean interpretation of a Pinot Noir. Bender is considered a “maverick” in the German wine industry; his wines grace Gordon Ramsey restaurants, Lufthansa’s business class, and can also be found on menus around town! Available at Rosslyn Liquor Store. http://rosslynliquorstore.com. Imported by Enotri wines.
Bread and Butter Chardonnay. I generally stay far away from mass marketed, large wine distributers in my wine tastings. But I make the occasional exception with the Bread and Butter Chardonnay. This wine is full of body and leaves your mouth coated in a buttery feel and taste.
Brutal. This rare cult wine is a cult wine for a reason. Want to know why? I’ll tell you at a wine tasting ;) Available at Highlands Liquor Store https://www.highlandsliquor.ca
All things sparling. Cava, Prosecco, Champagne (or Champagne method) are all fabulous to enjoy on a warm summer evening (or summer breakfast or lunch!).
Ask your wine store representative (or send me a message!) to point you in the right direction for level of sweetness you would like and highest quality for your price point.

Retreat and recharge. From the comfort of your home.
Kaavish spa offers luxurious full body, head-to-toe treatments using world famous Tatcha products to ancient skin treatment regimens with a modern touch.
We take as much pride in our unique holistic approach to care as we do in our clinically proven methods and skincare regiments. From the coziness and convenience of your home, our luxury mobile spa focuses on nourishing your skin and your well-being. We believe that the most effective cure for stress is not to be found in medicine cabinets, but rather, deep within ourselves.
Kaavish = Rejuvenation
Reena & Preetika
We, Reena and Preetika, have always been involved in the beauty industry.
Preetika is a registered cosmetic nurse injector and Reena is a certified makeup artist and an experienced esthetician. Over the years, we’ve nurtured our passions for personal wellness and aesthetics and have allowed it to manifest into Kaavish.
We see skincare as a meditative ritual of self-care, the high quality and purity of Tatcha inspired our decision to solely use this product on our clients.
As advocates/lovers of routine self-care, we wanted to enhance the luxury spa experience in Edmonton by offering the first holistic head-to-toe relaxation experience.
We have both gone through situations in our life and it’s through these situations and circumstances we chose to put all our energy into Kaavish.
Kaavish means resilience, overcoming obstacles, rejuvenation, having a positive outlook. It was the perfect name for us to use to move forward with our passion.
The Future of Kaavish
Our long-term goal is to eventually carry out our own skin care line and body treatments and expand the Kaavish experience across Canada
To our surprise, our business took off in a short period of time and has been surrounded by an abundance of community love and support. We would love to pay it forward in our community.
We are currently in partnership with a new organization called Shanti’s Closet. This program allows women who are looking to rebuild their life and start over a chance to do so. We will also be working with Zebra Child Protection as this another charity that is close to our hearts.
We love being able to have the flexibility to create and be imaginative. We love that we are able to bring our passion to our clients so they can experience the joy we do everytime we talk about Kaavish.
We are able to follow our passion, follow our dream and to push ourselves the most we have done in our life. “Be afraid of mediocracy”
Best Boss Babe Moment
Seeing our client’s reaction after every single service and hearing from them after.
We strive at perfection. We want every client to be in their utmost relaxed state and when they see their reflection after, they instantly see their skin transform. That’s our moment; their happiness and satisfaction.
Another moment is when Kaavish gets recognized! I was recently out somewhere, and I could hear a couple girls talking about Kaavish. They were saying how they were going to reach out and plan a day for her sister’s baby shower. They thought it was such a different idea and loved how we would come to them. They were talking about our treatments and reviews and were genuinely excited about Kaavish.
It was an amazing moment when you hear people talk so highly about our brand!

Resilience is knowing you are the only one that has the power and responsibility to pick yourself up.
