Episode Synopsis

Saray Fung is a practicing dental hygienist who graduated from the fast-track program at NYU, finishing dental hygiene school in just 17 months! Although she experienced anxiety in school, she was able to overcome it by using mental health resources provided by her school. Today, she is a recently certified myofunctional therapist running her own practice, OroWell! Saray can now assess patients with orofacial myofunctional disorders, such as TMJ disorders, and help correct these issues. This is another excellent example of how dental hygienists can expand their roles in the dental office.  Timestamps:(00:00) Saray’s RDH Origin Story (04:39) Branching Into Myofunctional Therapy(06:48) Fast-Track Dental Hygiene Program (12:33) Saray’s Advice to Dental Hygiene Students🟠 Listen & Subscribe: The Dental Hygiene Basics Podcast is available on all platforms (Youtube included!).
