She is a sporadic flosser and lover of stain causing food and drinks. Yup, red wine and beet salads are a part of her happy place! She believes that oral care and dental advice should be sustainable in the long term. Simply telling you to brush and floss more is not going to make a difference if you don’t have other foundational aspects in place first.

Heather brings light to the reality that there is simply not enough time in a routine dental hygienist appointment to make the connection between what is being observed in the mouth and what that is telling us about our body as a whole. That is why she created her signature program “The Beyond The Floss Formula” which is designed to help people eat, sleep and breathe their way towards a healthy mouth and body in the comfort of their own home, and at their own pace.

Heather advocates that your mouth is a window to the health of your entire body and more time needs to be prioritized to understand what your bleeding gums and sensitive teeth are telling you about your breathing habits and even possible inflammation somewhere in your body. This is the future of dental hygiene and a better, more functional dental hygiene approach.
