274: Dr. Shereen Lim, Dentist, Author & Dental Sleep Medicine Expert: Why Your Child’s Snoring Shouldn’t Be Ignored

Dr Shereen Lim is a Perth-based dentist and among the first in Australia to complete a postgraduate qualification in Dental Sleep Medicine. She began her career working with adults with snoring and sleep apnea but soon recognized that many of these problems had their roots in childhood and could often be lessened or delayed through earlier identification and management. This insight inspired her focus on children’s airway health, where she now works in tongue-tie management and early interceptive orthodontics to promote healthy breathing, sleep, and growth. She is the author of Breathe, Sleep, Thrive: Discover How Airway Health Can Unlock Your Child’s Potential, a book that has reached families and professionals worldwide. Dr Lim is passionate about promoting integrative care and raising awareness of children’s airway health as the foundation for thriving health and vitality.   SHOWNOTES: 😴 Why is snoring a red flag in children? 😴 Could mouth breathing quietly affect facial development? 😴 How might poor nasal breathing impact sleep quality? 😴 Could ADHD symptoms sometimes overlap with breathing problems? 😴 Why might crooked teeth signal underdeveloped jaws? 😴 Could allergies be triggering your child’s mouth breathing? 😴 Why does tongue function matter for healthy breathing? 😴 How can breastfeeding support early jaw development? 😴 Could teeth grinding point toward nighttime breathing issues? 😴 Why shouldn’t parents ignore restless sleep or bedwetting? 😴 Could better jaw development prevent future sleep problems? 😴 Why should parents trust their gut intuition early?
