Community Health, Columbia, South Carolina

Brandi R. Hair, DMD, was inspired to pursue dentistry after witnessing her family’s struggles with accessing affordable dental care. 

“The lack of access to affordable, comprehensive dental treatment resulted in many of my family members experiencing negative oral health outcomes,” she said. 

This motivated her to become the dentist her family needed, focusing on mobile community health to bring comprehensive care directly to underserved populations.

“I aspire to see all communities have access to the dental care that they need,” Hair said. “And I am committed to doing my part in making this dream become a reality.”

What makes Hair’s practice unique is its commitment to “meeting patients where they are,” both geographically and in terms of oral health literacy. Through mobile dentistry and clear communication, her practice breaks down barriers, helping patients better understand and engage with their oral health.

“Each day is an opportunity to build a legacy of developing healthier communities,” Hair said.

Outside of her clinical work, Hair has made an even broader impact through organized dentistry. She currently volunteers as editor for the South Carolina AGD, where she launched the constituent’s inaugural member-exclusive bulletin and revitalized its social media presence. She oversees all communications on the state level, encouraging South Carolina dental students and dentists to pursue lifelong learning with AGD.

At the national level, Hair serves as an AGD national spokesperson and was appointed director of membership and chapters for the American Association of Women Dentists (AAWD). She also volunteers her time to help plan the 2025 AAWD Conference and looks forward to broadening the organization’s impact through predental initiatives.

Hair is committed to increasing oral health literacy, and her 2025 goal is to collaborate with organizations like AGD and use social media to make dentistry more relatable and engaging for patients.
