NEIGHBOURS


25 years. He has combined his passion for both these organizations in an effort to establish World Youth Ambassadors to the Environment, with a mandate to encourage youth leaders to help prevent further environmental degradation. He is passionate about making a difference and committed to mentoring and listening to our youth.


When it comes to ideals, DeGruchy and Bateman are very much on the same page. Both men believe in “getting to know” the world around them. DeGruchy put this ideal into practice at Westside Dental Centre on a daily basis. He applies these principles to his dental practice by taking time to get to know his patients, their routines, family life, likes and dislikes; ultimately giving his patients the attention they need and deserve.


DeGruchy knows the mouth cannot be taken for granted as we use it to speak, eat, breathe and even kiss. We cannot take Mother Earth for granted either as she provides air, food and water for our very survival. The oceans are a particular fascination to DeGruchy as they parallel many of the concerns he has with oral health. Damage happening on the ocean floor, as in the mouth, generally goes undetected to the human eye. This is why


he is an advocate for regular cleanings and check-ups with your dentist, as well as saving our oceans.


As you enter DeGruchy’s dental office you will notice that he particularly likes bluebirds because they symbolize cheerfulness, prosperity, hearth and home, good health, new births and a positive attitude. These are the pillars that DeGruchy holds strong when making a difference in the lives of his neighbours, whether they be four legged, two legged, feathered, furry or wearing clothes.
