If you think your child has some signs of ADHD (or even if they are already being treated for ADHD), I would suggest taking a photo of them when they are watching television, riding in the car, playing a game, reading, whatever - just photograph them when they don’t know you are taking a picture. Then take a photo of them while sleeping. I want you to look closely at the position of their mouths. https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/allergy-nasal-spray-all-natural monthly 0.5 2020-06-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed435e2bec96f17e7501be9/1593287868731-M6JBF2WDIDO9YG3LCB1V/xlear%2Bspray.jpg Myoblog - Xylitol Nasal Spray - This Saharan dust has really taken a toll on our allergies!

Yes. Snoring is a form of sleep disorder at any age. And if your child has a sleep disorder now, then it can turn into sleep apnea as an adult. https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/dental-anxiety-gag-reflex-mouth-breather monthly 0.5 2020-06-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed435e2bec96f17e7501be9/1592856496046-OCP1ASMFERMDVG53ZRGD/dental+office+anxiety Myoblog - Dental Anxiety… - Fear and anxiety in the dental office could be a result of oral dysfunctions.

It is a great book that breaks down signs and symptoms of a tongue tie for both health care professionals and parents. This Blog is in no way a complete summary of the book, but it does highlight some key points to help you become more aware of things that often go missed. Tongue ties often go undiagnosed unless there is an obvious speech delay, but they can unknowingly cause pain and restrictions in so many parts of our body. -We have fascia throughout the body (like spider webs connecting different structures). The fascia under our tongue extends all the way to our feet which can explain a lot of aches and pains. https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/myofunctional-therapy monthly 0.5 2020-06-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed435e2bec96f17e7501be9/1592872277382-0X9DXMFSTSXNKLFRT8GL/profile%252Bphoto%252B1.jpg Myoblog - Why did I want to start doing myofunctional therapy? - Myofunctional therapy connects medicine and dentistry… Our health starts with our mouths… Everything that I continue to learn has a direct connection to someone that I love. I have even found many of the oral dysfunctions in myself. It has been an eye-opening experience and I want to share this knowledge with everyone I know! Awareness is everything. We do not know what we do not know. My hope is to encourage and educate others to recognize these signs and symptoms in themselves and their loved ones! Preventing others from dealing with all the struggles I have encountered is my main goal. https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/category/mouth+breather monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/category/sleep+disorders monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/category/kids+with+allergies monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/category/dental monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/category/snoring monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/category/tongue+tie monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/category/tongue+thrust monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/category/fear+of+dentist monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/category/personal monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/category/helping+people monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/tag/obstructive+sleep+disorder monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/tag/xylitol+nasal+spray monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/tag/correct+swallow monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/tag/tongue+tie monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/tag/tongue+thrust monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/tag/heart+shaped+tongue monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/tag/ankyloglossia monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/tag/mouth+breather monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/tag/myofunctional+disorders monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/tag/child+sleep+disorders monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/tag/Saharan+dust+allergies monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/tag/reverse+swallow monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/tag/myofunctional+therapy monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/tag/fear+of+the+dentist monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/tag/snoring monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/tag/kids+who+suffer+from+allergies monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/tag/fascia monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/tag/overall+health+in+a+natural+way monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/tag/gag+reflex monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/tag/sleep+apnea monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/tag/nasal+spray+for+allergies monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/tag/dental+anxiety monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/tag/large+tongue monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/myoblog/tag/improved+sleep monthly 0.5 https://myofunctionalmethod.com/benefits-of-myofunctional-therapy daily 0.75 2021-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed435e2bec96f17e7501be9/1591058289437-354Q8NJHWKR8NENQNBFB/image-asset.jpeg Benefits of Myofunctional Therapy - Myofunctional Therapy or Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy they are the same… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed435e2bec96f17e7501be9/1591469233909-OEZWV1OXWPMOL4PTY9E0/image-asset.jpeg Benefits of Myofunctional Therapy - How can proper tongue function change the shape of my face?

My “WHY?” I am a Katy High and UT Dental Branch of Houston alumni. I have been a registered dental hygienist working in private practice for 20 years - half of which was in The Houston Medical Center and the other half in Katy, TX. I love dentistry because the mouth is the gateway to the entire body. I found myself, as a parent and an individual, searching for answers… like there was something missing. We had done orthodontics, we saw an ENT, but something was not connecting everything and giving the desired results I was searching for...
