He then attended the University of Alberta in 1999, where he completed his 4 year dentistry degree in 2003.  He practiced dentistry in Edmonton until 2005 when he purchased a dental practice in a small town called LaCrete AB.  In December of 2011 Jason met Tammy and in July 2013 they married in Fort Sask and the LaCrete practice was sold in September of that year. Jason now has 4 boys, Jace, Charlie, Cody and Brett and is very proud to operate a dental practice with his wife in the place that he grew up in.  Although the city has grown so much, it still feels like a small town with a close knit community.

Dr. Tammy Cameron

DDS

Dr. Tammy Cameron grew up in the small town of North Battleford, Saskatchewan. She moved to Edmonton to attend the University of Alberta and completed a bachelor of science undergrad in 2006, a Dental Hygiene diploma 2008 and her Dentistry Degree in 2012. She was Class President of her Dentistry Program and was involved in many different organizations throughout her school years. After graduation, she knew she wanted to work in a small town, so she started to work as a Dentist in Redwater, north of Fort Saskatchewan. Although she is a proud Saskatchewanian, (as seen by her Roughrider gear scattered throughout the clinic), she met Dr. Jason Cameron in her last year of dental school, fell in love with him and his hometown of Fort Saskatchewan. Since then, they have welcomed four boys, Jace 9, Charlie 8, Cody 2 and Baby Brett 1. Tammy's passion for dentistry is almost as much as her passion for meeting patients and hearing their stories and experiences.

The Cameron Boys are our cutest little greeters. They test out all our waiting room toys, critique our video games, and run the halls. They are great tour guides of where the treasure chest is in the office. They enjoy hockey, soccer and hide and seek.
