Paula Petrone is an Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist, dentist trained in Colombia, and Founder & CEO of OMT of New York.

Paula earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree in Colombia in 1994 and later continued her academic education in the United States at New York University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in dental science.

Her background in dentistry led to a growing interest in the relationship between oral function, breathing, swallowing, tongue posture, and overall wellness. She subsequently pursued specialized education in Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy and became a Certified Orofacial Myologist.

Through her work, Paula provides individualized Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy for children and adults, focusing on functional patterns involving the tongue, lips, jaw, facial muscles, breathing, chewing, and swallowing.

Paula is committed to patient education and interdisciplinary collaboration and has contributed to professional dental publications and educational presentations nationally and internationally.

She is also the Founder & CEO of OMT of New York, a practice based in Long Island that offers in-person and telehealth services in English and Spanish.
