1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 On this episode of A Tale of Two Hygienists, Jessica and Dave sit down with a dental professional who has spent more than 20 years in hygiene and noticed a recurring problem: patients whose bruxism and wear patterns pointed to possible airway issues were being referred for sleep evaluations, but too often never completed the process. &amp;nbsp; That frustration led to the creation of Orasom Health, a platform designed to help dental teams support patients from the first airway red flags in the dental chair through screening, diagnosis, and treatment. &amp;nbsp; What We Talked About How hygienists are uniquely positioned to recognize oral signs that may point to airway dysfunction. &amp;nbsp; Why patients so often fall through the cracks after being referred for a sleep evaluation. &amp;nbsp; How dental teams can better support patients throughout the journey from screening to diagnosis and treatment. &amp;nbsp; The important role hygienists can play in identifying potential airway concerns early. &amp;nbsp; The personal, unexpected journey that sparked this mission — beginning not through dentistry, but with an unfortunate near-death experience that changed the guest's life and set this work in motion. &amp;nbsp; The Big Takeaway Airway health doesn't have to stop at a referral. Dental hygienists are often on the frontline of identifying potential warning signs, giving them a unique opportunity to help patients take the next step toward answers and treatment. &amp;nbsp; Resources: &amp;nbsp; LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aylee706/ &amp;nbsp; YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puz8YoY2_To &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Contact the Hosts: Jessica: jatkinson@endeavorb2b.com Dave: dtorres@endeavorb2b.com A Tale of Two Hygienists Podcast http://www.ataleoftwohygienists.com <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/42838405/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/423aa9/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/206101690
