Is your child tired and cranky? Are they snoring or grinding? Are they restless sleepers? Do they have dark rings underneath their eyes?

“Have you considered having your child’s sleep evaluated?”

“Has your child been tested for allergies?”

“Has a dentist checked the growth and development of your child’s mouth?”

At KIDS, our experienced team understands the connection between 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 throughout the day takes a toll on the development of their dental, airway, and facial structures, as well as their overall health and wellbeing.

Just because your child may be sleeping long enough doesn’t mean they are sleeping well. They may be snoring or breathing heavily, grinding their teeth, bed wetting, or waking up tired in the morning. These are all signs that something may be affecting their sleep and further investigation is needed.

Poor sleep may contribute to:

• Poor concentration
• Behavioural problems
• Tantrums
• Issues with learning
• Anxiety
• Defiant or contrary behaviour
• Growth and development concerns
• Other health-related problems

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 appropriate specialists to support you and your child.

If you are concerned about your child’s sleep, early assessment may help identify issues.
