I want to live in a world where the people are #nasalbreathing #stopmouthbreathing Mouth breathing is the most overlooked aspect of one’s health and wellbeing. Mouth breathing has a negative effect on your sleep, eating, athletic & academic performance. Often the easiest step is to consult w/ #myofunctionaltherapist or a #holisticorthodontist

Replying to @shazzy_lee is lip taping safe for kids? Myotape @oxygenadvantage is a great option for kids bc it goes around the lips rather than over the lips. Lip taping is not for all kids but many can use & benefit from this supportive modality. View their website for instructions. Reach out if want to chat 1:1

Conditions such as teeth grinding, snoring & mouth breathing are becoming more common. However that doesn’t not mean they should be ignored. it should raise our level of concern.
Kids don’t grow out of their health conditions, they compensate in order to adapt to them.
If your gut is telling you something is wrong, follow it.

Teeth grinding is a symptom that is often ignored or blown off.
However, no matter the age, it is a symptom of an underlying cause that needs to be addressed.
From the dental perspective, the grinding of teeth often indicates mouth breathing, small jaws and/or restricted oral tissues.
What have you been told about teeth grinding?

Want the answer for your discomfort? Look at how you are breathing. Mouth breathing is often at the root cause for your disease. #mouthbreathingawareness #holistichealth #rootcause
Did tou know how you breathe affects what/how you eat & how you sleep? It’s a cycle. Start making positive changes by breathing through your nose

Replying to @l.a.m.b.i.i what is holistic dentistry? It’s a change in the philosophy of care. The holistic approach honors the connection between mouth health & overall health. The mouth is the mirror of one’s overall health #holistichealth #holisticdentistry #holisticorthodontist
The holistic approach will evaluate one’s eating, breathing & sleeping patterns. Best book to start w/ is: Breath by James Nestor. In March 2023, get my book, Dear Friend…Do you know about tongue ties? #mouthbreathing

Curious about lasers in dentistry? I was too! Here i am testing the LightScalpel Laser on my finger. Yes, it is so sensitive that it didnt cut my finger. It only cuts the tissue it is intended to cut. Cool right?! #lasers #dentallaser #laser #scalpel
This #co2laser is incredible for #lip #tongue and #buccal #frenectomy
Worried about ur upcoming #tonguetie release? Ask to check out their laser. LightScalpel was used for my lip release @drcatherinemurphy @drcatherinemurphy @drcatherinemurphy

Maternal intuition should be important to health care providers #maternalinstinct #mommaintuition #healthcare #childrenshealth
Healthcare providers are w/ your child for a short period of time. Yes data is collected & tests are run. However, all of that is a brief glimpse into your child’s life.
You are uniquely connected to your child. You see their many moods, behaviors, & preferences.
Trust your intuition.

Lip taping/ mouth taping has supported a better night’s sleep for me for years. Here’s another option @vio2tape #liptaping #mouthtaping #mouthtapingforsleep Overall review: great option for those looking for options. Vio2 taoe can be worn in either the H or I shape. This is beneficial for my patients in advancement appliances. Are you willing to try? (Always ensure you read manufacturer’s instructions & can breathe thru your nose)

Holistic approach to #dentistry
Here are 4 things I used to say to my patients that I never say now with my #holistic approach to #orthodontics :
1. Mouthwash needs to be part of daily oral care
2. Kids will simply grow out of their teeth grinding
3. Fluoride is must
4. Orthodontics is the only option for crooked teeth/bad bites
Do any of these surprise you?
