Could your child's snoring, teeth grinding, or mouth breathing be signs of an underlying airway issue?
In this episode of the Gutsy Health Podcast, Juanique sits down with Dr. Kalli Hale, airway dentist and co-founder of Tooth Pillow, to explore the connection between jaw development, breathing, sleep, and children's health.
They discuss overlooked warning signs, the importance of early airway assessments, and how treatment options like guided growth appliances, myofunctional therapy, and jaw expanders may help support healthy development.
