    The Root Cause Was Breathing: A Doctor's Story of Missed Diagnoses & Breakthrough Healing [S1, E8]

    Moms Are Sensing That Something is Off —but Medicine Keeps Missing the WhyDr. Chad Capps, orthodontist and airway-focused clinician, shares how mouth breathing, tongue posture, and underdevelopment of the jaw can impact a child’s sleep, behavior, facial growth, and long-term health. Drawing from both clinical experience and his own personal health journey, he explains why airway issues often go undetected and why treating the root cause—not just straightening teeth—matters. This episode empowers moms to trust their intuition, recognize early red flags, and confidently navigate a team-based, holistic approach to their child’s care.Show Notes:ENT (Ear, Nose & Throat) EvaluationRecommended for assessing adenoids, tonsils, nasal obstruction, and allergies that commonly contribute to mouth breathing and airway restriction.Nasal Breathing SupportSimple tools like nasal rinses and nasal strips (Breathe Right®–style) were discussed as low‑hanging fruit to improve airflow and sleep.Dr. Stasha Gominak, MD – Vitamin D & Sleep ResourceNeurologist known for education on vitamin D deficiency and its link to sleep and neurological health.https://drgominak.com/Airway‑Focused, Team‑Based CareA collaborative approach involving orthodontists, pediatric dentists, myofunctional therapists, and ENTs—rather than isolated or siloed treatment.Guest Links Dr. Capps official site: https://cappsortho.com/ Capps Ortho Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cappsorthodontics/ Capps Ortho Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cappsortho/ East Texas Orofacial Myology https://easttexasorofacialmyology.com/ Misty’s Instagram & Facebook      https://www.instagram.com/easttexasorofacialmyology    https://www.facebook.com/EastTxOM/ Discount for Misty’s services : Just mention Skills for Moms!Skills for Moms Links: Podcast  on iTunes:   https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/skills-for-moms/id1862161546 Podcast on Spotify:   https://open.spotify.com/show/5IXChj0Ex7CWWssO4ZiNFv?si=85a1b4de75844f61 Grace’s Guide to Cold & Flu Season PDF, plus other resources: https://linktr.ee/skillsformoms Website  (coming soon) skillsformoms.com
