  • 59. From Diagnosis to Advocacy: Dental Sleep Health w/ Kristen Geist
    2024/11/04

    In this episode of The Aligned Hygienist, I chat with Kristen Geist, a dental professional whose journey through airway health has transformed her approach to patient care. Diagnosed with upper airway resistance syndrome herself, Kristen shares how her personal experiences inspired her to become an advocate for sleep apnea awareness and the importance of airway health. Listen in as we dive into her path from dental hygiene to working with adults on airway, sleep apnea, and tongue tie releases, and how she collaborates with other providers to help patients uncover hidden sleep disorders that impact their quality of life.

    Kristen Geist is a dental professional with over eight years of experience specializing in airway health, sleep apnea, and adult laser tongue tie release. After being diagnosed with upper airway resistance syndrome, Kristen became passionate about spreading awareness around sleep-related breathing disorders, especially in patients who may not fit the typical profiles. She now collaborates with various healthcare providers to bring comprehensive care to her patients and aims to educate the dental community on the profound effects of airway health. Kristen resides in upstate New York with her husband, son, and two rescue dogs, and is dedicated to improving patients’ quality of life through awareness and treatment of airway health issues.
