Both in her role as a dentist and that of owner-partner at La vallée, Dr Martimbeau is a reassuring presence, always caring for the wellbeing of others. This is not surprising – a formidable reference in the field of pediatric dentistry, Dr Martimbeau has always known that she wanted to work with children. She hence focused on fields of expertise including children’s orthodontics, myofunctional therapy, frenectomy in infants (to facilitate breastfeeding) and procedures performed under dinitrogen oxide or general anesthesia in children.
Dr Martimbeau has participated in several training courses in Quebec and abroad. Among other things, she refined her knowledge in myofunctional and respiratory therapy at the Myofunctional Research Company in California, completed a course in orofacial myofunctional therapy at the AOMT (Academy of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy), executed specialized training in interceptive orthodontics in young children under the renowned Dr Naretto, and in dentofacial orthopedics as well as neuro-occlusal rehabilitation as per the Planas technique with Dr Patrick Ampen. Dr Martimbeau works closely with Dr Alain Aubé of the Canadian Occlusion Institute on pathologies linked to the TMJ in children.
A perfect mix of competence and humanity, Dr Martimbeau enjoys the fun side and psychological approach of her relationship to her younger patients. On a personal level, although she enjoys travelling, skiing and mountain biking, her true passion has a tendency of taking over: for her, family activities come first.
