Selina Preston, CSOM

Selina grew up in Lompoc, California and moved to sunny San Diego to pursue her dental career by graduating from Concorde Career College as a Dental Hygienist. Selina's quest for knowledge then expanded into the realm of orofacial myology. Recognizing its profound impact on her own well-being led her to pursue advanced education and certification. Selina is a Certified Specialist in Orofacial Myology (CSOM), Breathe Institute ambassador, Myomentor, MyoMastermind and a MyoCircle graduate. Throughout her studies she has developed a passion for educating families and is eager to continue to provide services that guide growth and development for children. Selina also specialized in oral habits cessation programs. 

In 2020, Selina embraced motherhood with the arrival of her first child, an experience that illuminated the significance of early orofacial dysfunction detection in newborns. This firsthand encounter reinforced her belief in the pivotal role of a multidisciplinary collaboration in promoting optimal feeding and developmental outcomes beginning in infancy. 

As an Airway Circle State leader, Selina is dedicated to bridging the gap between the medical and dental domains and is actively engaging in community initiatives aimed at enhancing awareness and fostering synergy between these disciplines.
