Dr. Burgess is the best!
Your child’s breathing habits, especially while sleeping, can have a huge impact on their growth and overall health. At Sequoia Dental Office, we understand this and prioritize healthy sleep for children in Visalia. Dr. Stanic is Vivos® trained, and your family can benefit from our simple treatment option:
Call 559-608-3533 to schedule a consultation for your child.
As a Vivos® trained doctor, Dr. Stanic and his team are able to help your child learn to breathe through their nose by guiding the jaw development over time. A Vivos® appliance is used to promote natural growth and development, which will improve the function of the airway and facial symmetry.
Nasal breathing promotes optimal health and well-being. It reduces stress on your child’s body because it improves oxygen delivery. When we breathe through our noses, the air we breathe in is filtered, humidified, and warmed. This process keeps your throat and nose tissue healthy. It even prevents infection in the tonsils and adenoids!
Poor breathing habits while sleeping have been associated with ADD/ADHD, oral infections, sleep disorders, misaligned teeth, speech issues, teeth grinding, and more. You might notice bed-wetting, difficulty learning, mouth breathing, snoring, poor sleep, nightmares, low IQ, chronic allergies, headaches, and more.
Call 559-608-3533 to learn more about getting healthy sleep for your children in Visalia.
Snoring can be a symptom of a much larger problem. It is important that your child be examined as soon as possible to determine if treatment is needed. Children who snore are likely to develop much more serious health concerns.
We begin treating children as young as three years old. Sleeping in an oral appliance requires patience and compliance from the child and the parent. It will take time for the child to adjust to sleeping with the appliance. The improved sleep and health benefits make the short adjustment phase worth the patience.
Sleeping in an oral appliance will not cure ADD or ADHD. However, not getting good sleep will exacerbate your child’s symptoms. Increased oxygen and better rest will help your child grow and be more productive at home and school.
We can see you as soon as tomorrow!
