Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy 

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) is a specialized form of therapy that focuses on treating Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs). OMDs  are atypical adaptive patterns that emerge in the absence of normal patterns and functions of the orofacial complex, and are diagnosed at your initial dental hygiene appointment. The regular presence of abnormal patterns may affect dental development, facial growth and development, feeding, chewing & swallowing, speech, sleep, breathing, orthodontic stability, facial aesthetics and overall oral-systemic health. OMT is integrated into the dental hygiene treatment plan when needed, working to improve and stabilize the function and coordination of the muscles of the head, neck and mouth, addressing issues such as mouth breathing, incorrect swallowing patterns, speech difficulties, dental issues, and breathing disordered sleep. As of February 2025, the American Academy of Paediatric Dentistry (AAPD) has formally recognized the critical role of orofacial myology in paediatric care and health prevention. While everyone has the option to utilize this service through their dental hygiene care plan, orofacial myology should always be discussed and utilized for those under the age of six. The crucial role of orofacial myology in guiding normal growth and development of the craniofacial-respiratory complex, and in health prevention and maintenance cannot be understated.

Initial Assessment: 1.5 hours
Re-Care visits: 45 mins - 1 hour

Dental Sealants 

Dental sealants are a thin protective plastic coating painted onto the chewing surfaces of the premolars and molars. Dental sealants are applied to the deep pits and fissures of the teeth where food and bacteria can get trapped, sealing the tooth, and helping to prevent cavities. Sealants are recommended for children and adults as a cavity prevention protocol when deep pits and fissures are present.

“The (doctor) of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet and in the cause and prevention of disease”—Thomas A. Edison (1847-1931)”

“The mouth is the mirror of the body”

The human body is a marvel of interconnected systems, where each organ, tissue, and cell play a vital role in maintaining overall health and functionality. From intricate molecular interactions to the harmonious orchestration of bodily systems, this interplay enables us to perform daily activities, respond to stimuli, and recover from injuries. Among these components, the mouth stands out as a vital, yet underappreciated player.

Oral health is not limited to avoiding cavities and a pretty smile for Instagram, as important as the latter is in modern society. Instead, our oral cavity is a reflection of the body's ecosystem, and the main place where the disease progression of the body is witnessed. As a dental health practitioner, I am constantly reminded of its dual significance - as the site of essential functions like chewing and speech, and a mirror reflecting systemic health and lifestyle habits. By studying the mouth, we gain a unique opportunity to detect underlying conditions, making dentistry a cornerstone of preventive healthcare. By finding the underlying cause, we can address these problems at the roots! (- Fnan Ogbagabriel)
