Hi there! I'm Amanda, a Dental Hygienist for seven years based in Colorado. I have a passion for helping people with their oral health and tying it into their whole body health. Throughout my career, I saw patients who struggled with common conditions such as mouth breathing and grinding their teeth. I knew how to help them to a certain extent, but I always felt like I was missing something that could make all the difference to these patients.Everything came together, when we finally connected the dots with my sons developmental hardships. He had all the signs of orofacial myofunctional dysfunction; Recurrent ear infections, enlarged tonsils/adnoids, mouth breathing, snores, teeth grinding and needed speech therapy.  I wanted to be able to help him and knew that though these medical issues are common in kids,  that did not make them normal. My son and the countless patients I have seen with the same issues, ended up inspiring me to become a Myofunctional Therapist. I am so excited to help patients bridge the gap between their facial muscle function and their overall health.
