Embarking on a career in oral health in 2006, Joe is very proud of his accomplishments and the level of education he provides his clients and colleagues. Myofunctional Therapy became part of his practice in 2016 and has become a passion in his daily practice. Joe believes that all RDH’s should identify as educators. At the forefront, we teach oral health. Joe is an advocate in letting each client become involved in their care and seeks out new ways to help them obtain and maintain healthy tissues and teeth. He has spent countless hours researching sleep medicine, sleep dentistry and Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy. He is also proud to be an rdhu speaker and the creator of their myofunctional therapy curriculum.
