FAirEST6 - Airway Screening Form

Updated: Sep 15

As a registered dental hygienist, I utilize the FAirEST6 form as part of my medical history review and oral cancer screening to screen for airway disorders in my patients.



This form provides a guide to identifying clinical presentations common with airway resistance disorders, and it gives providers an easy guide to use chairside in identifying risk and subsequent need for referral to an airway specialist, such as a myofunctional therapist.



For a video walkthrough of how to quickly assess yourself and others for a potential tongue tie (i.e. ankyloglossia), visit my Instagram Page!

If you suspect tethered oral tissues, call to schedule an assessment with a myofunctional therapist - age doesn't determine the need for an assessment!
