Family-First Wellness

As a Registered Dental Hygienist, I have extensive experience in preventive care and disease management. Through my work in dentistry, I’ve seen firsthand how airway health and oral function are often overlooked in patient care. Patients of all ages present with narrow jaws, crowded teeth, jaw pain, chronic mouth breathing, and dark circles under their eyes—which are signs of sleep deprivation. Ignoring these indicators is a missed opportunity as a healthcare provider. Patients deserve to be informed about how these issues affect their overall health and to explore all available treatment options, empowering them to make the best decisions for their well-being. 

 

I believe in the power of prevention and early intervention. As someone who prioritizes optimal health for both myself and my family, I felt a strong calling to expand my expertise through Myofunctional Therapy. This path allows me to take a more holistic approach, helping patients uncover and address the root causes of their symptoms rather than just managing them. 

​

I am deeply committed to this work because I see the meaningful impact it has on people’s health and quality of life. My passion for learning and growing in this rapidly evolving field drives me every day, and I am honored to be an advocate for my patients on their journey to better health.
