Ep 151: Breathe, Sleep, Thrive - Discover how airway health can unlock your child’s greater health, learning and potential - with Dr Shereen Lim

37 minutes

Did you know that a child's breathing pattern influences every aspect of their development?

In today's episode, I interviewed Dr. Shereen Lim, who will share her knowledge of airway health and tongue-tie solutions to help children achieve greater health and wellness. She will also discuss the symptoms that are frequently treated without taking into account underlying airway issues, how to aid the jaws to grow properly, and how to promote airway health.

Dr. Shereen Lim was one of Australia’s first handful of dentists to obtain a qualification in dental sleep medicine and has a decade of experience working with patients with snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. She is an engaging speaker who is calling for a reformed approach to care. Rather than managing dysfunctional breathing and its consequences, Dr. Lim is focused on promoting airway health. This means promoting good airway development and reinforcing nasal breathing from infancy as keys to good sleep, thriving, and long-term health. Dr. Lim regularly sees infants through adults and has been able to pinpoint the issues in infancy that lead to bigger problems down the track. She is passionate about educating child health professionals from a variety of fields to recognize the earliest warning signs of poor airway health, including poor oral function and poor jaw development, and promote collaborative care to address these as early as possible. Her vision is to help more children receive timely care to breathe, sleep, and thrive to their full potential, and avoid growing into more serious problems later in life.
