from Beyond Breathing · host Lancette VanGuilder

Send us Fan MailMason had just turned 9 when he received his sleep apnea diagnosis. This was a monumental turn of events after his mom had been searching for answers for years for his recurring strep throat and sinus infections, continuous bedwetting, exercise intolerance and snoring. You may be surprised to know that it was his dental team that became his biggest health advocate and helped solve all of his medical issues by addressing his airway and growth and development. Mason's Journey:1. A comprehensive Airway Assessment: at-home FDA cleared sleep test ring, CBCT to map out airway, tonsils, nasal passages and dental arches. Examination, measurements, photos and digital scan of teeth. 2. Referral to an AIRWAY FOCUSED ENT. Sinus and nasal surgery and removal of tonsils and adenoids. 3. Myofunctional Therapy for exercises to train the muscles and fascia of the head and neck. 4. Assist with nasal breathing: nasal hygiene with Xlear, kids breathe right strips and mouth taping. 5. Identify and treat the root causes of obstructions: tongue tie release and oral appliance therapy with the VIVOS Guided growth series. It's never too early to take a sleep test to evaluate mouth breathing, snoring, restless sleep, night terrors, bed wetting, fatigue, anxiety, poor exercise tolerance,ADHA and more!Support the showMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/the-anthemLicense code: SSRYVZTXKZ9U33WQ
