Airway Health for Kids
HELPING KIDS BREATHE AND SLEEP BETTER
Did you know that the way your child breathes can affect their health, behavior, and even how they grow? Airway-focused dentistry for children helps identify and treat breathing problems early so kids can live healthier, happier lives.
SIGNS OF AIRWAY ISSUES IN KIDS
Does your child have any of these symptoms? These could be signs of a breathing problem:
Sleep Troubles
Snoring, noisy breathing, restless sleep, or waking up often
Behavioral Changes
Trouble focusing, hyperactivity, mood swings, or anxiety
Physical Symptoms
Mouth breathing, dry lips, teeth grinding, or frequent sore throats
Developmental Concerns
Crowded teeth, narrow jaws, chronic ear infections, or bedwetting beyond the typical age
WHY EARLY TREATMENT MATTERS
If airway problems are left untreated, they can lead to bigger issues like:
- Affecting proper brain development due to repeated hypoxias
- Trouble learning in school
- Delayed growth and development
- Sleep apnea later in life
By addressing these problems early, we can help your child get the sleep and oxygen they need to grow and thrive.
