📣To my friends and family members, colleagues and followers⭐️The Indiana Dental Hygienists’ Association needs your signature to send a clear message to lawmakers: oral health professionals and Hoosiers do not support untrained and unlicensed individuals providing dental hygiene services! Sign our petition to take part in our campaign against Oral Preventive Assistant (OPA) policy!

We're sending a message against:

Policies that may compromise patient safety and quality of care
Diluting dental hygiene standards and compromising the integrity of the profession based on insufficient or weak arguments for workforce expansion
And are in support for:

Safe, high-quality oral healthcare delivered by licensed dental hygienists
Expanding access to care through evidence-based, patient-centered solutions
Inclusion of dental hygienists in legislative decisions that impact our profession and the patients we serve
Take Action Today!

Help us close the gap! 💜

This year, you made an incredible impact. 💜
Because of your support, the ADHA Foundation has been able to fund:
• 17 scholarships
• 2 research grants
• 4 community service grants + 1 travel grant
But as we approach the end of our fiscal year, there’s still more to be done.
We’re working to close the funding gap so we can continue supporting students, advancing research, and expanding access to care in communities across the country.
Every gift—no matter the size—moves us closer to that goal.
✨ Help us finish strong and keep the momentum going.

School is out! ☀️I remember when I used to say, “I wish I could take the summer off.” I wouldn’t say that managing my business and still practicing dental hygiene, and running my kids to summer camps isn’t work. However, this is the kind of work that I prayed for. I can honestly say that I love every bit of it. Finding this work/life balance is possible. If you are a dental hygienist trained in OMT, I’m here when you are ready!

Big news from Indy Myo! 🦷

I’m now offering consulting services to help dental offices bring orofacial myofunctional therapy into their practices.

If you’re a dentist, dental hygienist, orthodontist, or dental team member who has ever wondered how OMT could fit into what you already do, this is for you.

With over a decade of dental hygiene experience and specialized training in orofacial myofunctional therapy, I understand the clinical side AND the day-to-day realities of running a dental practice. My goal is to make adding OMT feel practical, not overwhelming.

Here’s what consulting with me can look like:

Screening and patient identification protocols
Staff education on recognizing orofacial dysfunction
Workflow integration support
Connecting your team with the right resources and referral networks

Orofacial myofunctional therapy supports better breathing, improved swallowing patterns, healthier tongue posture, and stronger long-term orthodontic results. When it’s part of your practice, your patients benefit in ways that go far beyond the chair.

I’d love to connect with practices that are ready to take this step. If you currently have dental hygienists who are trained in orofacial myofunctional therapy, this is a great opportunity for your practice! Reach out here or visit indymyo.com to get the conversation started.

A new Indiana law creates a fast-track licensure pathway for internationally trained dentists to practice as dental hygienists, igniting debate over workforce shortages, professional standards, and the future of dental hygiene.
