Bona Fide Hygiene Care

Check out my interview with the Oregon Voyager magazine! 🤗

Today we’d like to introduce you to Megan Hanks. Hi Megan, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.My path in dentistry started early, I began working in the dental field at 16 years old in Anchorage, Alaska, as a sterilization tech. After high school, I went ...

There’s something important I want people to understand about me and the care I provide through Bona Fide Hygiene Care.

I didn’t just “become a hygienist.” I’ve spent nearly 25 years in the dental field, beginning in dental assisting long before becoming a dental hygienist over 12 years ago. My background spans pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, cosmetic and general dentistry, surgical dentistry, removable appliances, impressions, whitening trays, nightguard fabrication, and full-mouth surgical cases in hospital surgery centers. At one point, I held credentials at three separate surgery centers assisting in advanced dental procedures.

Today, I hold an Expanded Practice Dental Hygiene license in Oregon, along with permits in local anesthesia and nitrous oxide administration. I’m also a certified herbalist, which deeply influences my passion for holistic and prevention-focused care.

But beyond credentials, what matters most to me is how people feel in my chair. I have extensive experience supporting patients with dental fear, trauma, and shame around oral health. As someone who is neurodivergent myself, I tend to notice details others may miss; not just clinically, but emotionally too. I genuinely try to meet people where they are, without judgment.

Bona Fide Hygiene Care is also proud to be a certified Safe Space, an NGLCC and ORPIB affiliated business, and LGBTQIA+ owned.

At the end of the day, my goal is simple: thoughtful, skilled, prevention-centered care with kindness, transparency, and humanity at the forefront. 🤍

Long waits. High costs. Insurance confusion. Fear or anxiety. Or simply life getting in the way.

Simple. Transparent. Prevention-focused care.

Case and point. This is EXACTLY why I chose not to take insurance…too many layers between you and the care you actually need, and too little transparency about how things are covered or paid.
Delta Dental is a huge nation wide dental insurance company, finally facing a class action lawsuit. Such a broken system.
