Brenda - Hygienist

Brenda is one of the most credentialed dental hygienists in Austin, bringing over 12 years of clinical experience and a genuinely holistic approach to oral health to Forest Family Dentistry's Anderson Lane location. She has been a Registered Dental Hygienist since 2012 and added certification as an Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist in 2022, a specialty that very few hygienists in the Austin area hold and one that allows her to identify and treat the muscle patterns of the mouth, face, and airway that affect how people breathe, sleep, swallow, and speak.

Brenda serves as an active board member with both the Oral Cancer Foundation and Oral Biotech's Cooperative, which speaks to the depth of her commitment to the dental profession well beyond the walls of the office. She is passionate about helping patients understand the bigger picture of their oral health and the very real connections between what happens in the mouth and what happens in the rest of the body. Whether she is completing a routine cleaning, providing preventive care, or working through a myofunctional therapy plan, Brenda approaches every appointment with the same thoroughness and genuine investment in her patients' long term wellness.

Her focus on patient education means that people leave their appointments with her feeling genuinely informed about their health rather than just told what to do. That approach builds the kind of trust that keeps patients coming back year after year.

Outside the office Brenda loves spending time with her family, going fishing, and playing miniature gold.

If you are looking for an experienced and highly trained dental hygienist in North Austin, Brenda would love to take care of you at Forest Family Dentistry on Anderson Lane.
