Help, I’m pre-diabetic! The Kurang Manis Sugar, Less Podcast

03-05-2021 • 36 mins

Meet Kuala Lumpur based Dr. YokeLi Ling, a passionate Sleep and Airway Centric Dentist who advocates prevention and rehabilitation of poor facial and jaw growth and development that results in dental misalignment, sleep disordered breathing, and compromised systemic health that could even lead to chronic diseases like hypertension and Type 2 Diabetes. She advocates for oral myofunctional therapy, incorporating it into the treatment of orofacial myofunctional disorders, and dental sleep medicine for both children and adults. An inspiring episode that urges immediate action if you, your spouse or your child are mouth breathers.

"I would like to introduce a broader concept of the dentist as an oral physician, a gatekeeper to the wellness of systemic health through the mouth" - Dr. YL Ling

Join co-hosts Nikki Yeo and Jasmine Low in this chat to uncover the secrets to well-being.

Dr. Ling has also kindly shared two lectures in the BONUS track (listen in the next track):
