The Silent Epidemic Behind ADHD, Snoring & Cavities: The Hidden Dangers of Mouth Breathing in Infants & Kids with Dr. Hilary Fritsch ✨ Ep. 103
Nearly every child today is developing with an airway that's too small for their tongue, and most parents have no idea it's happening.
In this crucial conversation with Dr. Hilary Fritsch, an airway-focused dentist, we expose why so many American children need braces, struggle with focus, or experience chronic health issues. The truth is, symptoms like mouth breathing, snoring, frequent ear infections, and even ADHD-like behavior aren't random - they're often signs of an underdeveloped airway and jaw.
The most frustrating part? This epidemic is entirely preventable with early intervention. Through proper screening and treatment starting at age three, children can develop properly-sized airways and jaws, often avoiding the need for braces altogether. This isn't just about straight teeth - it's about your child's sleep, breathing, and long-term health.
Whether your child has chronic cavities despite good oral hygiene, struggles with focus, or shows any signs of breathing issues, this episode could change their future.
