40 million children is a staggering concern. In America, 9 out of 10 children present with at least one symptom of SDB, according to Brooke Stevens, BS, University of Michigan, Earl O. Bergersen, DDS, MSD, ABO “The Incidence of Sleep Disordered Breathing Symptoms in Children from 2 to 19 Years of Age”, in JAOS Winter 2016 issue. The outward signs surface early and treatment can start at around the age 2, to the outside range nearing the adolescent years from roughly 10- 12. This crisis affects oral habits in children impacting their Growth and Development, Airway and Sleep. This becomes a medical problem that now has a dental solution and the consequences facing these children, if left untreated, are unacceptable.
Prevent early or treat with Band-Aids for life. The objective is to catch a child in their growth and development phase to retrain the tongue posture to swallow correctly and to rest on the roof of the mouth for nasal breathing. Nasal breathing is the healthy and safe way in which we are meant to breathe. ‘Mouth Breathing’ is a damaging ‘gate-way habit’ linked to many problems which are shown below, in a longer list of symptoms that produce unhealthy consequences. Every night without quality sleep is unhealthy for a child on a critical timeline, for their growth and development.
Every day, children are misdiagnosed with symptoms that look like the behaviors of ADHD and are often medicated before SDB is ruled out. These medications do not help a child with SDB, they further hamper their performance and distract doctors and parents from the real solution. Other symptoms are overlooked as common traits or parents are told their child will grow out of it. Wrong. They grow into it. The associated crooked teeth, bed-wetting, allergies and other symptoms affect everything from self-image to physical growth and development.
Reaching parents is essential. Awareness for parents, educators and all medical professionals with the tools to identify the Outward Symptoms related to this unnatural and unhealthy condition is needed. They do not know this, it is not often taught in Dental or Medial School. It is taught in Continuing Education that must reach the parents as well. Learn what to look for, why it is happening and if caught in time, how to safely treat it with an FDA cleared, non-pharmaceutical and permanent Solution.
The symptoms to look for include: mouth breathing, snoring, teeth grinding, swollen tonsils, adenoids, bed wetting, ADHD behaviors, arrested growth, academic challenges in science, spelling & math, chronic allergies, nightmares, aggressive behavior, depression, social problems, interruptive restless sleep, dark circles under the eyes, morning headaches, sleep walking and talking, difficulty listening, crooked, crowded teeth, narrow pallet and thumb or digit sucking.
Sleep Disordered Breathing has the attention of the ADA, preparing to make a statement regarding pediatric patient care in the role of dentistry.
