Airway Dentistry

Airway Dentistry is not a true dental specialty, but rather a philosophy of care. For children this involves addressing root causes of poor jaw development, intervening early while a child is still growing, and working collaboratively with other healthcare professionals to ensure a child can breathe better, sleep better, and experience better overall health now and in the future. Your child could benefit from seeing an Airway Dentist (or allied health professional) if any of the following has been your experience:

  • Your child has habits that can negatively influence facial development: mouth-breathing, teeth-grinding, thumbsucking, or a pacifier habit that's overstayed it's welcome...

  • Your child's teeth have either excessive crowding or excessive spacing, the jaws appear narrow or one jaw is more prominent than the other, or you've been told that you better start saving money now for braces...

  • Your child experiences: dry lips or excessive drooling, snoring, bedtime resistance or bedwetting, hyperactivity, speech issues, picky eating and more...

  • Your child has undergone or received a recommendation to: remove tonsils or adenoids, release a tongue or lip tie (frenectomy procedure), use a dental appliance (rapid palatal expander, Myobrace, MyoMunchee, Healthystart, Toothpillow, etc.), work with a myofunctional therapist, and more...
