#55 – Dr. Bozidar Kuljic – Environment for Jaw Health, Tongue Ties, Sleep, Diet & More

Dr. Kuljic is an airway focused dentist who invited Ron to talk after they met at Dr. Lipkin's PIEZO Course in September. He has lots to share on the importance of environment for jaw growth, specifically diet, snipping tongue ties early, importance of nutrient quality in foods & breastfeeding. He also talks about how fixing structure is important, but without improving the myofunctional habits afterwards, it's only a half success. Sleep hygiene, patient experiences with expansion & more are also discussed.
