MYOFUNCTIONAL THERAPIST
Meet Agnieszka Beckford: Your Myofunctional Therapist Extraordinaire! Journey with us through the chronicles of our myofunctional therapist, an esteemed member of our dental family. With over two decades in the realm of dentistry, Agnieszka's tale is rich and multifaceted. Her early years saw her grace dental chairs abroad, then as a dental hygienist in Westchester County, NY. Today, she shines as a Myofunctional therapist in our practice. Agnieszka's dedication to her craft is evident in her academic accolades. She earned her dental hygiene degree from Hostos Community College in the Bronx and further honed her skills with a Masters in Public Health from Benedictine University in Isle, IL.
Working with children and guiding their parents to achieve impeccable oral health is Agnieszka's true passion. With an emphasis on proper oral posture, elimination of oral habits, and the optimal development of jaws, her holistic approach is both refreshing and effective. Her proficiency in airway assessment enhances her ability to apply myofunctional therapy, focusing on improving muscle tone, tongue position, and breathing patterns. Agnieszka believes in empowering her patients, ensuring they understand the importance of their oral health, preventing potential issues, and promoting overall well-being.
Agnieszka's journey into the realm of myofunctional therapy was deeply personal. When faced with her daughter's orthodontic challenges due to tongue thrust, she discovered the transformative power of myofunctional therapy. This sparked her fascination, and she immersed herself in the Academy of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy. By 2021, she celebrated her certification, marking another feather in her well-decorated cap.
When the day's work is done, Agnieszka treasures her time with family. Whether it's camping under the stars, hiking through nature's paths, paddling down serene waters, or simply cozying up for a TV night, she relishes every moment with her three children and supportive husband.
