Brianna Blakemore
Registered Dental Hygienist providing Myofunctional Therapy
Brianna originally started her career as a Veterinary Technician. Her career goal was to become a board-certified Veterinary Technician to perform dental cleanings on cats and dogs. Ironically after developing a fear of dogs, Brianna had to make a course correction for her next career. Having graduated from George Brown College’s Dental Hygiene Program in 2017, her focus shifted over the years to catering to clients with dental anxiety, screening for Sleep Disordered Breathing, recommending assessment for potential early-interception orthodontics, conventional and natural/holistic based options for oral hygiene backed by evidence-based research, and eventually diving into the area of Myofunctional Therapy. Having gone through therapy both as a client and receiving training to provide Myofunctional Therapy, Brianna has received valuable insight on both sides to help guide clients to optimal results both in terms of Myofunctional Therapy and traditional dental hygiene services.
Brianna is registered with the CDHO , and an active member of CDHA and ODHA professional organizations.
