I&#8217;m Kayla, a Texas native with a passion for everything dental! Graduating from Kaufman High School fueled my journey into the dental field, where I thrive on promoting good oral hygiene and spreading smiles to everyone we meet. While being a dental assistant brings me joy, I am looking forward to furthering my dental career when I attend dental hygiene school. Off-duty, I enjoy exploring antique treasures with my boyfriend, hunting for vintage trucks to restore, or finding my next great turquoise gem. When not in the dental office or antique hunting, you can catch me playing fetch with my golden retriever, Speedy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_row_50qw7w2vkg\" class=\"cmsmasters_row cmsmasters_color_scheme_default cmsmasters_row_top_default cmsmasters_row_bot_default cmsmasters_row_boxed\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer_parent\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_inner\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_margin\">\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_column_bdueb11fv7\" class=\"cmsmasters_column one_third\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_column_inner\"><div class=\"cmsmasters_img  cmsmasters_image_n\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.empowerdentaltx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Morgan.png\" alt=\"Treatment Coordinator\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_column_pvt6k4pbs\" class=\"cmsmasters_column two_third\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_column_inner\"><div class=\"cmsmasters_text\">\n<h2><strong><em>Morgan, Office Manager\/Treatment Coordinator<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_text\">\n<p style=\"color: #47535c; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; font-weight: 300; text-align: left;\">Hey! I grew up in Arlington, TX and recently moved to Terrell, TX last year. I\u2019ve been in the dental industry since 2014. I love my job and coworkers and enjoy knowing as a team we will help our patients achieve a healthy and beautiful smile they can be proud of. Out of the office I enjoy spending time with my girlfriend Bobbie and our three dogs. In my free time you\u2019ll find me kayaking at the lake, attending concerts, reading a good book, enjoying a night of karaoke with my friends or watching reruns of The Office.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_row_hex5cu1umu\" class=\"cmsmasters_row cmsmasters_color_scheme_default cmsmasters_row_top_default cmsmasters_row_bot_default cmsmasters_row_boxed\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer_parent\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_inner\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_margin\">\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_column_z8a9w21m7r\" class=\"cmsmasters_column one_third\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_column_inner\"><div class=\"cmsmasters_img  cmsmasters_image_n\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.empowerdentaltx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Vannessa.jpg\" alt=\"Vannessa RDH\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_column_acu9r51o75\" class=\"cmsmasters_column two_third\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_column_inner\"><div class=\"cmsmasters_text\">\n<h2><strong><em>Vannessa, RDH<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_text\">\n<p style=\"color: #47535c; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; font-weight: 300; text-align: left;\">I am a Registered Dental Hygienist, and graduate from Concorde Career College. Attending an accelerated hygiene program was challenging yet rewarding in many ways. While my 7 years of dental assisting grew my passion for patient care, it wasn\u2019t until the extensive knowledge and training gained from hygiene school that I knew I could really make a difference in the lives of my patients. I strive to help with anything from making my patients feel comfortable in the chair and easing their dental anxiety to working together creating home care strategies that best fit them and their lifestyle.<br \/>\nAs a former Forney High School graduate and long time Forney resident of over 17 years, I am pleased to call this town home. What better way to give back to my community than to be an advocate for their oral health while educating them on proper oral hygiene practices. When I\u2019m not in the office making smiles brighter, you can find me either out with friends and family or taking my German Shepard fur baby out for a walk followed by a trip to Starbucks for a pup cup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_row_q1pu23ldwn\" class=\"cmsmasters_row cmsmasters_color_scheme_default cmsmasters_row_top_default cmsmasters_row_bot_default cmsmasters_row_boxed\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer_parent\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_inner\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_margin\">\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_column_74wyrglnzb\" class=\"cmsmasters_column one_third\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_column_inner\"><div class=\"cmsmasters_img  cmsmasters_image_n\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.empowerdentaltx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Trameika.png\" alt=\"RDH\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_column_npzc57mktr\" class=\"cmsmasters_column two_third\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_column_inner\"><div class=\"cmsmasters_text\">\n<h2><strong><em>Trameika, RDH<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_text\">\n<p style=\"color: #47535c; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; font-weight: 300; text-align: left;\">I earned my Dental Hygiene degree from Southern University Shreveport in 2004 and have dedicated over 20 years to providing exceptional patient care. I am passionate about educating patients on the vital connection between oral health and overall systemic health, empowering them to make informed choices for lifelong wellness. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, son, and loved ones, playing softball with my church team, and exploring new restaurants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3808","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Dental Hygienist Team in Forney &amp; Seagoville, TX | Empower Dental<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Our skilled hygienist team in Forney, TX ensures a clean, healthy smile during every visit.
