Give Your Child the Best Start in Life
Children with compromised airways may experience:
- Chronic mouth breathing

- Frequent night awakenings

- ADHD-like symptoms and allergies

These may be caused by:

Early Intervention is Key
Addressing airway issues early can:
- Improve sleep and behavior
- Encourage proper facial and jaw development
- Enhance speech and learning
- Prevent long-term health problems
We provide prevention, management, and rehabilitation options tailored to your child’s needs.
The Link Between Breathing and Development
Chronic mouth breathing affects facial growth and increases the risk of:
- Crowded teeth
- Narrow dental arches
- Smaller jaw structures
- Speech difficulties
- Sleep-disordered breathing
Sleep dentistry focuses on restoring natural function for optimal breathing and health.
