Proudly Supporting the Scottish Rite Hospital
At Today Dental, we strongly believe in supporting our community and the people who help. The Scottish Rite Hospital has a personal connection to our founder. When his daughter was born with a club foot, the generous doctors, nurses, and medical professionals that donate their time and money provided exceptional medical service and specialist care, all through the generosity of donations. For parents straight out of college, this was a true blessing.
Because the Scottish Rite Hospital is almost entirely run by donations, and all services, including surgeries, specialist care, check-ups, and more, are provided to families without cost, it is important to us at Today Dental that we do our part to give back to this great organization that helps so many. With the Orange Shoe Theory, we hope to give back to this awesome service for kids.

Dr. Mertz was born in San Diego, CA but grew up in Pflugerville, TX. She earned her Bachelor’s degree from Angelo State University where she majored in Biology and minored in both Chemistry and Psychology. Dr. Mertz then went on to obtain her DDS from the University of Texas School of Dentistry at Houston.
Dr. Mertz was drawn to dentistry because it allows her to work with her hands while providing a service to patients that can build confidence through their smile! A great aspect of dentistry to Dr. Mertz is that she can invest not only in her patients’ oral health but in their lives as well. Dr. Mertz is comfortable working with adults and children, and loves that this profession allows for her to treat the whole family!
When she is not at work, you might find Dr. Mertz running along Katy Trail, embracing her competitive spirit by playing sand volleyball or creating new memories while traveling.
