There is no specialty in dentistry that focuses on the airway specifically; however, as Grand Rapids board-certified pediatric dentists, we have advanced training in how the growth and development of our jaws and intraoral structures can affect our airway.
At every visit we assess the growth of your child’s mouth and evaluate their airway. We are highly trained to recognize problems early. We can often do treatment in our Grand Rapids, MI, pediatric dental office to help with conditions that impact our airway development, including and frenectomies of oral restrictions.
We also work collaboratively with ENTs, orthodontists, speech pathologists, and occupational therapists to ensure that your child is receiving the best interceptive care.
Early intervention is imperative as your child’s jaws grow the most rapidly in the first years of life. Our pediatric dentists are highly trained to not only assess your child’s growth and development but also give them the most comfortable care at every age to meet your child where they are in their emotional development as well.
Our pediatric dentists in Grand Rapids, MI, can take a closer look at your child’s smile and let you know if and when interceptive care is needed. If you’re ready to get started, call Pediatric Dental Specialists of West Michigan today at (616) 608-8898 or contact us online to request an appointment.
