"Has a dentist checked the growth and development of your child's mouth?"
At KIDS our highly trained staff understand the domino effect of undiagnosed sleep and airway problems.
We understand that when your child cannot breathe through their nose, the only option is to breathe through their mouth., and that mouth breathing 24 hours a day, day in and day out, takes a toll on the development of their dental, airway, and facial development as well as their overall health and wellbeing.

How can we help?
Part of our routine assessments here at KIDS is to screen children for possible sleep and airway issues. We are able to provide treatment options and/or referrals to the right specialist to help ensure you and your child are getting a good night's rest.
The sooner these sleep issues are picked up the better.
If you would like to have your child's sleep and airways assessed, book an appointment today.
