JoAnna has been in dentistry for over 25 years and has continued to expand her education and clinical skills throughout her career. She has been a practicing Registered Dental Hygienist focused on helping people become healthier. Throughout her career, she has been dedicated to expanding her knowledge and clinical skills to be an impactful provider in her patients’ overall health. Through this process, she has participated in hundreds of hours of continued education focused on airway health, and proper development and function of the mouth, head and neck.

As JoAnna learned more, she began to make the connection between how her own children’s oral dysfunction and restricted oral tissues were correlated to their chronic health issues at a very young age. With these experiences, she became passionate about educating others about orofacial dysfunctions and the importance of treatment.

Airway focused dentistry is an arena that JoAnna is extremely passionate about. She has seen hundreds of people benefit from better sleep, better breathing, and improved function of the mouth, tongue and airway. From family members and friends to strangers, JoAnna treats everyone with the same goal in mind: to help them live a longer and healthier life.

And, fun fact, JoAnna has worked at Modern Family Dentistry/AZ dentist for over 20 years, has 3 beautiful children and loves to bake in her free time.
