Description:

Pediatric sleep dentistry services have the ability to change the life of a child. Children suffering from sleep disordered breathing face a myriad of associated health and behavioral concerns including snoring, headaches, mouth breathing, nightmares, bed-wetting, mood changes and poor concentration. Parents are often unaware that their child is living with unidentified sleep apnea and of the long-term impact that this could have on their child’s life. Offering pediatric sleep apnea services gives your team the opportunity to play a pivotal role in a child’s development.
