A CHILD WITH SLEEP APNOEA NEEDS HELP! This happens when the child is not getting enough oxygen while sleeping.
Causes can be:
- Inflammation in the airways mostly caused by sugar and wheat.
- Food allergies.
- Sensitivities to allergens like dust, pets etc.
- Blocked airway caused by enlarged tonsils and adenoids.
- Crooked teeth which indicates a narrow jaw.
- Mouth breathing prevents the air being moistened, warmed and filtered by the nose. This is critical.
This problem must be addressed from as early as one year old.
At Danny de Villiers Dentist in Weybridge, we can evaluate your child from an early age and eliminate some of the causes.
We use Myobrace to treat mouth breathing, narrow jaws and incorrect tongue position.
