Airway & Growth for Kids at Young Dental Care
At Young Dental Care in Aurora, IL, we understand that your child’s oral health is closely linked to their overall growth and development. Our Airway & Growth program is designed to identify and address issues that affect your child’s breathing, sleep, and facial development, helping them thrive both in health and in confidence.
Many children struggle with undiagnosed airway issues that can impact sleep, behavior, and even their dental alignment. Through early intervention, we can guide proper facial growth, improve airway function, and promote lifelong oral health.
Why Airway & Growth Matters for Children
A child’s airway and facial development are critical to their overall health. Poor airway function can contribute to:
- Mouth breathing and dry mouth
- Snoring or sleep-disordered breathing
- Delayed dental development or misaligned teeth
- Behavioral issues such as difficulty concentrating or hyperactivity
- Underdeveloped facial structures
Our team of pediatric dental specialists works closely with families to identify airway challenges early, so your child can grow and develop with a healthy smile and optimal breathing.
Signs Your Child May Need an Airway & Growth Evaluation
Look out for these common indicators:
- Chronic snoring or noisy breathing during sleep
- Frequent colds, sinus infections, or allergies
- Mouth breathing instead of nasal breathing
- Difficulty focusing or learning challenges
- Crowded or misaligned teeth
- Long face appearance or underdeveloped jaw
If you notice any of these signs, early evaluation is key. Timely treatment can prevent complications and support proper growth.
