Jessica Bingman

RDH - Dental Hygienist

Jessica has been an integral part of Bedford Family Dentistry since 2005, bringing expertise, compassion, and a holistic approach to patient care. As a registered dental hygienist and myofunctional therapist, Jessica provides comprehensive oral health services including oral cancer screenings, periodontal evaluations, non-surgical periodontal therapy, routine cleanings, and diagnostic radiographs.

What sets Jessica apart is her specialization in myofunctional therapy—a therapeutic approach that corrects oral dysfunctions through targeted exercises. She helps patients address a wide range of health issues, including sleep-disordered breathing, mouth breathing, allergies, orthodontic relapse, TMJ disorders, and swallowing habits. Her work also includes early intervention to expand and release tethered oral tissues, making a meaningful difference in patients' overall health and quality of life.

Jessica earned her dental hygiene degree from Allegany College of Maryland in 2002 and completed her myofunctional therapy training through MyoMentor. She was drawn to dentistry because she's always wanted to help and care for people in the healthcare field. "I always liked going to the dentist and thought it would be a rewarding and fulfilling career being a dental hygienist," she shares.

Outside the office, Jessica loves traveling to beach destinations for relaxation, attending live music events, hiking, and camping. She prioritizes self-care through massage, physical therapy, and chiropractic care, and wakes up at 4 AM to exercise before work—a routine that might seem "nuts" to some, but keeps her energized and ready for the day! She also enjoys "diamond art" as a mindful alternative to scrolling on social media and has a talent for finding unique Airbnb stays when she travels.
