Airway Dentistry focuses on identifying and treating issues that obstruct the airway, which can significantly impact sleep quality, physical development, and overall health.  Children may suffer from undiagnosed airway problems—often misunderstood or overlooked.

Pediatric Airway Dentistry

Give Your Child the Best Start in Life

Children with compromised airways may experience:

  • Chronic mouth breathing
  • Loud snoring or restless sleep
  • Frequent night awakenings
  • Poor focus and behavioral issues
  • ADHD-like symptoms and allergies
  • Prolonged bedwetting

These may be caused by:

  • Enlarged tonsils/adenoids
  • Narrow palates
  • Improper tongue posture
  • Underdeveloped jaws

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.

For Children: Early Airway Intervention

Children with compromised airways often show symptoms like:

  • Chronic mouth breathing
  • Snoring or noisy breathing
  • Restless sleep or frequent awakenings
  • ADHD-like behavior or poor focus
  • Bedwetting and allergies

These issues often result from:

  • Narrow palates or underdeveloped jaws
