So, What Does an Oral Health Coach Actually Do?
I get asked this question all the time—and I get it! Oral Health Coaches are still a relatively new concept, and most people have never heard of one.
So what is an Oral Health Coach… and more importantly, why would you need one?
Helping You Heal Your Mouth—From Home
Oral Health Coaching takes everything I’ve learned as a Dental Hygienist over the last 30+ years and brings that guidance directly to you—in your real life, not just during a rushed cleaning at the dental office.
It’s not about scraping teeth or giving lectures. It’s about helping you:
Understand what’s really going on in your mouth
Learn how to care for your teeth and gums effectively at home
Use the tools and techniques that make healing possible
When things finally click and you feel like you’ve got this—that’s my favorite moment.
Wait, so you don’t clean my teeth?
Nope! I don’t clean your teeth. That’s what your dental office is for.
My job is to help you learn how to take care of your mouth in a way that actually works—based on your lifestyle, your goals, and what you have access to.
Whether you’ve got the latest electric toothbrush or a basic manual one, I’ll help you get results. If you’ve struggled with flossing or using oral tools, we’ll simplify the process so it finally fits into your day-to-day life without stress.
We Don’t Just Talk About Teeth
Oral Health Coaching looks at the whole picture.
We consider how things like illness, medications, aging, or dexterity challenges affect your oral health. We look at dry mouth, inflammation, acidity, and how emotions—like shame or fear—can stop people from taking action.
The mouth is deeply personal and emotional.
Many people carry trauma or embarrassment around dental visits. But once you feel safe, supported, and truly heard, everything starts to change—not just physically, but emotionally, too.
It’s About Empowerment, Not Perfection
You don’t need perfection to have a healthy mouth.
What you need is:
The right tools
The right techniques
A plan that works for your life
And someone to walk you through it without judgment
That’s what I’m here for.
Yes—You Can Have a Healthy Mouth for Life
Imagine a life where:
Your gums don’t bleed or recede
Your teeth don’t hurt
Your breath stays fresh
You no longer dread (or avoid) the dentist
This is possible—and it’s not as complicated as it seems, when you’re taught how.
