About Us
Dr. A. Awadia
Dentist
I graduated from the University of Dar-Es-Salam, Tanzania in 1991 with a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree. I worked for 3 years in my home country before migrating to Canada in 1994, and in 1999, I was able to obtain my re-certification. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work as an Associate in Mississauga for two years and in Tillsonburg for eight years. In 2009, I took over Ingersoll Family Dentistry. It has been my privilege to become familiar with this well-established practice and I thoroughly enjoy interacting with the wonderful patients who visit.During my spare time, I enjoy photography, cooking, reading, cycling, nature trail walks, and I also treasure family time and family events.

Kari
Dental Hygienist
I am a Registered Dental Hygienist with 15 years of experience, proudly serving the Ingersoll community I call home. I live in Ingersoll with my husband and our three sons, and I truly adore the sense of connection and care this town offers. In my spare time, you can usually find me out on the baseball diamond or the golf course.
Jodi
Dental Hygienist
I am Registered Dental Hygienist who graduated from the Ontario Dental Education Institute in 2008. I began my career in dentistry in 1998 after completing the Dental Assisting program at Fanshawe College, where I discovered my passion for patient care and oral health education. With over two decades of experience, I am known for my gentle approach, attention to detail, and dedication to helping patients feel comfortable and confident in their smiles.
Outside of work, I enjoy keeping a healthy balance in life, whether I’m out cycling, puttering in the garden, getting lost in a good book, walking the dog, or simply spending time with my family and friends.
Monika
Dental Administrator
Before finding my way into dentistry, I actually began my career in the police force. Over time, I realized the medical field was calling my name, so I followed the path and completed medical office assisting program in 2010. I spent the next ten years working in the medical field, including cardiology and a family doctor’s office. After a decade in medicine, I was offered an opportunity to join a dental practice – and I have been loving it ever since! Many of my medical skills transferred naturally and I truly enjoy continuing to learn and grow every day.
What I love most about my job is connecting with people, getting to know our patients and helping them feel comfortable and cared by us is the highlight of my day.
When I am not in the office, I enjoy spending quality time with my family. You will often find me gardening, walking our dog in the forest, or enjoying a relaxing swim in our pool. Family time is truly my favourite.

I approach every aspect of my role with profound compassion for our patients, ensuring comfort and understanding during every visit. I find it a true honour to serve the Ingersoll community and strive to provide the highest standard of care in every procedure.
In my spare time, I love to bake, go for walks with my dog, and spend time with family and friends.
