What you see when you look at someone doesn’t tell you the whole picture. There is a world out there that may be unidentifiable to the normal eye….but when you know what to look for you realize there is a huge number of people affected.
Are you tired? Do you wake up at the same time every night? Do you grind your teeth? Do you have crowding of your teeth? Are you a mouth breather? Were teeth removed when you had braces? Do you have anxiety? Do you snore? Have you been diagnosed with ADD or ADHD? How about fibromyalgia or IBS?Do you have TMJ disorders?
While I am not making any sort of medical diagnosis, and I can’t guarantee a cause and effect between your ability to breathe and these symptoms….I believe that we need to dive in and recognize that there may be a connection. I am here to share the dental perspective. You can draw the conclusion yourself….I just want to present the evidence that has been so eye opening to me, as a person that lives with a major airway problem.
One must be willing to look into the development of the airway through genetic factors as well as environmental factors to really understand the effects that it can have on a person. Please explore with me as we discuss various topics around airway development, symptoms, prevention, etc.
