Prevention Dentistry for Children

Physiologic Dentistry is for Kids Too!

Kids grow up so quickly! There is such a short window of opportunity to assess growth and development in kids. Age 4-14 is the time when a child's face, airway, and posture are developing. Growth and development can be affected adversely by a compromised airway and breathing difficulties that can lead to poor facial development and skeletal and dental problems. Dr. de Bruin can assess and diagnose any problems that may lead up to these problems and can treat them so ideal facial, skeletal, and dental growth can happen to give beautiful-looking faces into teenage and adult years. Please see "Can mouth breathing hurt my health?" on the FAQ page.

Bite issues, headaches, facial pain, and trouble breathing are difficulties that don't just distress adults. Kids can have these problems too. Dr. de Bruin has been educated in Children's Physiologic Orthodontics at the world-renowned Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVI) and several other prestigious institutes. This comprehensive training focused on understanding facial development, skeletal misalignment, airway obstruction, and the significance of early intervention with specialized orthodontic treatment. Early discovery and treatment of bite problems and airway obstruction in children is extremely important to prevent these ailments from developing further and initiating additional problems.
