Better Grades in School Start With a Sleep Evaluation

(Newswire.net — August 8, 2018) Winnetka, IL — Studies have found that children with symptoms of Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders earned lower grades than those without problems sleeping. In fact, 25% of kids with sleep disorders had failing grades in math and spelling. (Sleep Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 9)

Research of 501 children showed that 9 out of 10 children will exhibit one or more of the outward symptoms of Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders. On average, children will have anywhere from 4-6 outward symptoms which can include: ADD / ADHD, headaches, nightmares, teeth grinding, bed wetting, difficulty in school, chronic allergies, restless sleep, daytime drowsiness, snoring, swollen tonsils / adenoids, delayed growth, defiance / aggressive behavior, crooked or crowded teeth and dark circles under the eyes.

Parents and educators alike want children to experience success in school and in fact the back-to- school routine is geared towards this goal. Buying school supplies and books, eye exams, physicals, and dental screenings are all necessary, but, what is the missing piece of the puzzle? Every child needs a sleep evaluation.

Children who mouth breathe while they are sleeping, snore, grind their teeth, thumb / finger suck or exhibit any of the outward symptoms listed above, are prime candidates for an evaluation. These symptoms provide information that there may be more serious underlying conditions.

Fortunately, a certified HealthyStart® Dental Professional can assess and treat the underlying root cause of these symptoms with a comprehensive treatment that is non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical and pain-free. In fact, the HealthyStart® system in 86% of cases, completely or greatly reduces the outward symptoms in 5 months and 92.6% of children do not self-correct and 30% get worse with age. Time is of essence and once identified, children should be evaluated and treated.   

HealthyStart® uses the body’s own properties to guide and promote proper growth and development as well as providing proper oral habits. Straightening the teeth is an added benefit of this treatment. By addressing these children at an early age allows for these corrections to occur and the fiber bundles that anchor our teeth to develop and create a permanent condition with no relapse. Healthy Start is designed to provide a lifetime of health, success and beautiful smiles!

Many certified dentists are offering a HealthyStart® Sleep Evaluation complimentary and will include it in your child’s back-to-school dental screening. Visit the Doctor Locator to find a certified doctor in your area – https://www.thehealthystart.com
