Snoring, mouth breathing, and restless sleep are easy to write off as normal kid habits, but they can sometimes point to an airway issue that affects more than just sleep. Left unaddressed, these habits can also influence how your child’s jaw and face develop over time.
At Purple Tooth Dental, we screen for signs of airway-related concerns, like chronic mouth breathing or persistent snoring, during your child’s regular visits, and we can refer you to an ENT, myofunctional therapist, or orthodontist when further evaluation is needed. Early screening helps make sure any airway concerns get looked at by the right specialist sooner rather than later.
Dr. Jon Kaczmarski, DMD completed a pediatric dental residency that included training in orthodontics and growth-related care, giving him a broader view of how airway health connects to a child’s development. He and our team also speak Spanish for families throughout Mount Holly.
Contact our office today to schedule your child’s airway evaluation and get a clearer picture of what may be affecting their sleep.
