As a dentist, she uses intake forms that ask questions about things that may not seem to relate to dentistry but can identify possible mouth formation and airway issues, questions like whether the child is often sleepy or inattentive. In the exam, she looks for things like whether there is enough room for the baby teeth. Baby teeth should be straight and there should be some spacing between them. If there is not, it points to a narrow palate. “The roof of the mouth is really the floor of the nose so if you have an underdeveloped mid-face, you will have various respiratory problems”, she says.
Chee says, “Children should have dental checkups that go beyond just the teeth. If the treatment is begun early, we can prevent a host of problems later on. The earlier the better.”
Dr. Teresa Scott is a local dentist practicing in Spring who was trained by Dr. Felix Liao to identify and treat airway issues which are endemic. What she looks for in an exam are the visible signs of wear that would be caused by grinding and the crowding of the baby teeth, and whether the child is tongue tied or breathing mainly through their mouth. She says that all these things point to the development of a high vaulted palate that is tall and narrow so that there is not room for the teeth and more importantly not room for the tongue.
Scott tells parents, “The best thing they can do is to observe their child and notice if they are breathing through their mouth. Do they walk around with their mouth open all the time or are they sleeping with their mouth open.” She says that this indicates an airway problem that should be addressed before the permanent teeth come in and before it causes other more serious problems. Age three is not too young.
Life seems to be a much brighter place after a good night’s sleep, and kids are our future. Digging deeper for their optimum, long-term well-being is a vital investment.
