Kids who breathe poorly and have poor functional habits during growth years disrupt the natural development of the craniofacial respiratory complex. This produces adults with sleep breathing problems. Dentists are the only part of healthcare that can recognize and intercept these deficiencies when there is time to direct growth and establish proper habits for lifetime health. This talk will help dental teams who see children to identify risks and understand various means of addressing these concerns early in life.
Learning Objectives:
Appreciate how dentists can screen for sleep breathing problems and poor habit development in littles.
See various ways dental professionals can influence growth of the craniofacial respiratory complex.
Understand the multidisciplinary nature of this therapy.
