New Wave Periodontal Hygienists

Melanie Boyd, BS, RDH

Melanie joined our New Wave Dental Group in 2024 as a New Wave Periodontal Hygiene Specialist.

Melanie is a devoted Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH) with a passion for oral health care and patient education. With over 12 years of experience in the field, Melanie has established herself as a trusted professional committed to providing exceptional dental care to her patients.

  Her journey in dentistry began with a deep-seated desire to make a positive impact on people's lives through their oral health. Born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia, she traveled to Troy, Alabama to play NCAA Division 1 soccer and complete her Bachelor of Cell and Molecular Biology degree. After her 4 years in Troy, she traveled to Florida where she completed her Dental Hygiene Degree from Gulf Coast State College.

  She is deeply passionate about preventive care and believes that education plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal oral health. She started her work in the Periodontal specialty in 2020. This enabled her to refine her skills and be trained on the Dental Endoscope, which quickly became her new passion in the dental world!

  Throughout her career, Melanie has remained committed to staying on top of the latest advancements and techniques in dental hygiene. She regularly attends continuing education courses and workshops to ensure that she can offer her patients the most effective and evidence-based treatments available.

  Melanie lives in Fort Worth with her Husband Brandon and two children Henry and Zoey. She loves to coach/play soccer, run trails and stay as active as possible!
