Brandon Jason Schwind DMD

Dr. Brandon Schwindt, or “Dr. Brandon” to his patients, grew up in Oregon, just east of Salem. He received his biology degree at the University of Oregon and later attended Oregon Health and Science University’s School of Dentistry where he met Dr. Kat. During his time in dental school, he discovered his talent for working with children. After graduating with honors from OHSU, he moved to Charleston, SC to complete his pediatric dental residency. Following graduation, he received the Richard C. Pew Award, for scoring in the top three percent in the nation on his pediatric board exams. He currently serves as the President of The College of Diplomates of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, a national dental education organization.

After returning to Portland, Dr. Brandon became associate professor of Pediatrics at OHSU dental school and was later selected by his pediatric colleagues to serve as the President of the Oregon Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. In 2009, the Oregon Dental Association and Governor Kulongoski chose Dr. Brandon to serve on Oregon’s Board of Dentistry. He was then reappointed by Governor Kitzhaber in 2012. Recently, he was elected to President of the Oregon Board of Dental Examiners. Following a two-year course of study and case presentations, Dr. Brandon achieved Board Certification by the American Board of Laser Surgery. He is the only pediatric dentist in Oregon and the only dentist in Portland with this level of certification. He works with many local speech therapists and lactation professionals to help children with tongue and lip ties. In his spare time, Dr. Brandon enjoys skiing, hiking, and camping with the family: Colin, Duncan, Dr. Kat, and their dog Max.
