At WindHaven Pediatric Dentistry, we evaluate these 6 signs at each of our patient’s visits:
Nasal Breathing
Lip posture
Wide, broad palate
Dental spacing
Tongue posture
Jaw Occlusion
If any of these signs are off-track, we offer treatment recommendations to guide your child’s oral growth and development as early as age 4.
If your child’s growth and development is off-track, it can negatively affect your child’s ability to Breathe, Sleep, Eat, or Speak properly.
This 7.5 year-old’s jaw occlusion was evaluated at one
of his dental visits with us, and we noticed his occlusion was suboptimal. With some intervention, we were able to help this patient Eat better.
This 7 year old’s tongue posture was suboptimal,
negatively affecting the patient’s speech. After working with a
speech therapist and a frenectomy procedure, we helped this
patient thrive in speech.
