Summary of this video by Dr. Devin Hall
Dr. Devin Hall, DMD, discusses the critical connection between ADHD symptoms and sleep-disordered breathing in children, emphasizing the importance of nasal breathing for healthy brain development. He notes that resolving these issues involves a multi-disciplinary approach rather than a single solution. Dentistry plays a vital role by expanding the jaws, which enhances nasal airflow and proper tongue positioning. This development must occur early, as 90% of jaw growth happens by age 10. ENTs may remove blockages like enlarged tonsils or adenoids, which also contribute to breathing issues. Myofunctional therapy can train and strengthen the tongue, guiding it to rest correctly in the mouth. Dr. Hall highlights the Pax Protocol at his practice, offering a path to healing for families dealing with this issue.
The Pax Protocol for Pediatric Sleep Apnea: A Path to Healthy Breathing at Chandler Park Dental Care
Imagine transforming your child’s life with just the simple act of breathing. At Chandler Park Dental Care in Bowling Green, KY, this transformation becomes a reality through the Pax Protocol for Pediatric Sleep Apnea. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Devin Hall, DMD, we address the root causes of sleep-disordered breathing, offering comprehensive care that extends beyond traditional treatments.
What Is The Pax Protocol?
What sets the Pax Protocol apart is its focus on holistic and structural solutions to breathing issues. It is a structured approach to treating pediatric sleep apnea by improving nasal breathing and correcting tongue positioning through a combination of dental practices and collaborative care.
Dr. Devin Hall explains, “Dentistry can help by expanding the jaws, which increases the breathing volume of the nasal passages. Expanding the jaws also allows more room for proper tongue positioning to support breathing health.” This innovative approach not only aims to improve immediate symptoms but also fosters long-term health benefits that can positively impact your child’s development and daily functioning.
The Importance of Early Intervention for Pediatric Sleep Apnea
Dr. Hall notes, “90% of jaw development occurs by the age of 10…And this isn’t an issue that children simply grow out of.” That’s why early intervention for pediatric sleep apnea is crucial. These issues require prompt and skilled intervention to prevent long-term impacts. ENTs and myofunctional therapy play vital roles in alleviating nasal blockages and training the tongue for healthy posture.
A relieved parent testified to the success of our approach, saying, “Dr. Hall and his treatment team are an excellent choice for dental needs for both general and intricate procedures.” Recognizing and addressing these issues early on not only improves your child’s quality of sleep but also boosts overall energy levels, enabling better academic and social performance. We believe in offering your child every possible option to set them up for success.
Treating the Source of Sleep-Disordered Breathing, Not Just The Symptoms
Symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing, such as persistent mouth breathing, snoring and hyperactivity, can be misdiagnosed as ADHD. Dr. Hall emphasizes that nasal breathing introduces nitric oxide into the body, encouraging oxygen uptake and improving cognitive function. Imagine seeing improvements not just in sleep quality, but in your child’s alertness and engagement during the day. It’s this dual impact on sleep and daytime activities that makes the Pax Protocol a cornerstone here at Chandler Park Dental Care.
