Parent Airway Conversation Guide

Who we are

We're a dental team with a focus on how children's mouths, jaws and breathing develop. We listen, explain what we see, and work alongside your child's pediatrician and other clinicians. Many concerns don't need dental treatment, and we'll tell you when that's the case.

Your guide, at a glance

What you've noticed

  • Mouth often open while relaxing
  • Tosses and turns at night

One useful thing to note

Write down when you notice restless sleep and anything else happening at the time, such as a cold.

Questions for a clinician

  1. How do we tell ordinary snoring from snoring worth evaluating?
  2. Who is the right person to talk with first?

A useful first step

A few minutes. A clearer conversation.

Choose the observations that sound familiar. Your guide brings them together with helpful context, practical things to note, and questions to discuss with your pediatrician or our team. View, print, or save it without sharing contact details.

An initial conversation

What happens if we talk?

When appropriate, care may involve coordinating with your child's pediatrician or other clinicians, so everyone shares the same picture. Not every concern needs dental care, and we'll say so when that's the case.
