To the dentists, orthodontists, physicians (adult and pediatric), ENTs, occupational therapists, speech language pathologists, and everyone else promoting health and wellness in their industries are you being clinically curious? Are you continuing to treat symptoms without getting to the root cause. Is frustration setting in for you, parents and patients? Would you like to think outside the box but don’t know where to start? You’ve been asking and hearing about airway health or Myofunctional therapy but still are unsure who to talk with? As a hygienist that is now a Myofunctional therapist being able to look at patients that are in their mid 30’s that are starting to not be able to live with the symptoms of dysfunction is disheartening to understand that if someone was more clinically curious when this person was 4,5,6,7 and treated the beginning dysfunction then they would now have the possibility of living without worn/broken teeth, TMD issues, poor sleep, anxiety, medication for high blood pressure and other systemic illnesses. Be the provider that offers more- yes most of us do not have time allocated in our schedules but a simple question about sleep, breathing, or behaviors could lead to the referral to a provider who can help construct the puzzle 🧩 for a patient. Just because it is not a thing or as prevalent in your town or community doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. Let’s collaborate! I offer consultation calls at no charge—have a case that’s been on your mind or something you heard that may not make sense let’s talk.
