?? Exciting News from the AAPD! ??
We are thrilled to share that the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) now recognizes airway health as an essential part of oral health! For too long, the focus has been primarily on cavities and straight teeth, often waiting until baby teeth fall out to address crowding with braces or extraction.
Now, the AAPD is advocating for airway screenings as early as ages 3-6. This proactive approach allows for early growth correction, which can help prevent long-term issues down the line.
This isn't just new science; it’s a philosophy we've embraced at Siegert Dental. Dr. Jake has been sharing the insightful book “Jaws: The Story of a Hidden Epidemic” with many of our patients to explain our treatment philosophies. Additionally, our our Registered Dental Hygenist Courtney is an AOMT certified Myofunctional Therapist!!! Our dedicated team is trained in this comprehensive approach, and we invite you to allow us to be part of your family’s journey toward ensuring healthy airways!
Let’s prioritize airway health together!
