Meet Dr. Goodine, DDS
General Dentist | Dalhousie University
Dr. Goodine grew up in Plaster Rock, New Brunswick and now lives in Halifax. He attended Dalhousie University in 1974 and completed two years of a B.Sc. before being accepted into the Faculty of Dentistry in 1976. Upon acceptance, he was awarded the Dalhousie Dentistry Entry Scholarship. He graduated from Dentistry in 1980. During his four years at Dalhousie, he was part of many intramural sports teams, served for two years as the President of the Dalhousie Dentistry Students Society, and won an award for Oral Diagnosis in his fourth year.
After graduation, Dr. Goodine went into practice in Halifax as an Associate. Two years later, he moved his practice to Dartmouth to join forces with Dr. Melanson, where they formed Alderney Dental Group. They’ve been at their present location ever since. Dartmouth was the perfect location for a practice. The small-town friendly feeling suited both dentists’ personalities.
Dr. Goodine is particularly interested in orthodontics. He has taken continuing education courses in orthodontics, laser therapy and rotary endodontics.
An avid sports fan, Dr. Goodine spends his spare time golfing, curling and cycling. He has two grown children. His daughter is in the medical field, and his son is in business. He says that for him, dentistry was the right choice because it lets him be his own boss, work with his hands and build close relationships with an interesting and diverse group of people.
