In honor of National Children's Dental Health Month, today's episode will focus on "Healthy Kids Grow Beautiful Faces." As parents, we all want our children to be healthy, happy, and confident in their appearance. Many may even aspire for our children to have a "beautiful" jawline, but what does that really mean? In this episode, we'll explore the connection between dental health and facial development, and jaw’s genetic potential can positively impact a child's facial structure. We'll also discuss the role of orthodontics in enhancing a child's facial appearance, and the importance of early intervention regarding dental and facial issues. So whether you're a parent or simply interested in children's dental health, tune in for some valuable insights on how healthy mouths lead to beautiful faces.Join our community here: Healthy Mouth Moms (facebook.com) Takeaways:-The upper maxilla is 90% grown by the age of nine to twelve-The tongue is one of the strongest muscles in the body-Mouth breathing is one of the things that keeps the body in fight or flight-Poor cranial development can lead to various issues such as a long face, midface discrepancy, recessed chin, and sunken cheekbones.-These issues can cause a lack of space for permanent teeth and the tongue, leading to sleep-disordered breathing, snoring, bedwetting, and teeth grinding.-Sleep-disordered breathing in children is a cranial facial development that affects overall health.-Children who snore, have apnea, or exhibit open-mouth breathing are at a higher risk of developing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) compared to those who don't have these issues.
