Airway-Focused Dentistry
BREATHING BETTER FOR BETTER HEALTH
Welcome to our practice, where we focus on more than just teeth—we focus on your breathing and overall health! Airway-focused dentistry is a new way of looking at dental care. It’s about understanding how the structure of your mouth and face affects the way you breathe, sleep, and feel every day.
WHAT IS AIRWAY-FOCUSED DENTISTRY?
Airway-focused dentistry looks at how your mouth, jaw, and face work together to help you breathe. Instead of just checking your teeth and gums, we also look at your airways, sinuses, and breathing patterns to make sure everything is working as it should.
WHY DOES AIRWAY HEALTH MATTER?
Breathing is essential for life, but many people don’t realize how much poor airway function can affect their health. Issues with your airway can lead to:
- Snoring or sleep problems
- Feeling tired all the time
- Headaches
- Trouble focusing at school or work
- Teeth grinding or jaw clenching
HOW WE HELP
We take a step-by-step approach to improving your airway health:
- Comprehensive evaluation: We examine your mouth, jaw, and airway
- Sleep studies: We check how you breathe while you sleep
- Customized treatments: These may include orthodontics, oral appliances, or exercises to help you breathe better
