Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda speaks with Dr. Radhika Kapoor about pediatric airway conditions, signs of airway issues, and what parents can do about it.
Dr. Kapoor explains the importance of pediatric airway health. Early detection and prevention of any issues are vital for a child’s health. For Dr. Kapoor, pediatric dentistry combines all of her specialty interests, including functional medicine, gut health, immunity, sleep, and prevention. She reviews signs of airway issues in children that can be detected in their sleep, eating, and behavioral habits, as well as factors that commonly delay these diagnoses. She shares a personal story of how her daughter got COVID as a baby and why she believes it impacted her airway development. Dr. Kapur explains the use of myofunctional appliances, removable and fixed expanders, and the importance of myofunctional therapy in correcting airway issues. She offers several actionable at-home remedies for airway well-being. Remember, airway and oral health are related to your child’s overall health. Don’t hesitate to ask your healthcare provider for more resources and support!
