What you need to know about underdeveloped jaws in children with Ben Miraglia
Manage episode 483614202 series 3426130
I get excited when I learn about new or innovative ways to address any of the many adversities that kids face, but I get more excited when I learn about ways to prevent adversities from occurring in the first place. In a previous episode of Talking About Kids, a guest and I discussed sleep apnea in children, its terrible consequences, how to treat it, and how it often results from a child having an underdeveloped jaw. In this episode, my guest, Ben Miraglia, and I do a more in-depth examination of the consequences of underdeveloped jaws in children – which include everything from crooked teeth to chronic pain – and we discuss how to prevent these problems from ever occurring. Ben is the Chief Clinical Officer at Toothpillow. Ben brings more than his two decades of experience to that role. As you will hear, he brings a passion and an intellectual curiosity that I hope you will find as engaging as I do. More information about Ben and links to resources he cites are at talkingaboutkids.com.
