Meet The Doctors

Dr. Jessica Nielsen

DDS

Meet Dr. Jessica Nielsen. A graduate of OHS and UNB, Jessica is happy to be home in Oromocto, close to friends and family.

Jessica and her husband Jon took off for “the Rock”, AKA Newfoundland right after graduation from Dalhousie Dentistry in 2011. After too many flights to count, they decided to move back to the Maritimes with their son, Cohen. Since arriving back in O-town two years ago, Jessica and Jon have welcomed baby Will to their family.

You can see Jessica cycling or walking with her “boys” around Oromocto, canoeing the Oromocto River or snowshoeing at Lindsay valley. She also loves listening to podcasts and drinking coffee.

Dr Nielsen is excellent with all her patients but particularly good with children. She has excellent advice for maintaining your family’s oral health for a lifetime. 

Jessica is certified to help her patients using nitrous and oral sedation.

Jon enjoys cycling, snowboarding, cross country skiing, running, and swimming in his spare time. He loves to compete in triathlons in the summers and also loves reading and playing guitar.

Jon and Jessica love travelling, though they do a little less of it now that they are raising their two boys, five-year-old Cohen and one-year-old Will.
