Washington, United States - February 1, 2024 /NewsNetwork/ —
The trusted pediatric dentistry clinic, which serves the North and Northwest neighborhoods of Washington, DC, including Brookland, Michigan Park, North Michigan Park, Queens Chapel, and Woodridge, is pleased to be expanding their treatment services to address this common but harmful condition, which can have far-reaching and damaging effects for children of all ages.

The specialized dentists, orthodontists and myofascial experts at Children’s Choice Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics have seen that the incidence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in children is rising, with the latest figures from the American Academy of Family Physicians estimating that between 1 and 10% of children now suffer from it.
With the condition responsible for restless sleeping, headaches, daytime sleepiness and irritability, bedwetting, and more—in addition to purely dental issues like teeth clenching and grinding, the increased prevalence of cavities, tooth decay and gum disease, and malocclusion and teeth misalignment—the team at Children’s Choice Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics believes it is imperative that young sufferers get the help they need.
As such, the pediatric dentists at the clinic will seek to provide an array of sleep apnea treatments including the use of sleep apnea oral devices and rapid maxillary expansion, which involves fitting a palatal expander to the roof of the mouth.
As several studies have showcased, including one recent one on the National Library of Medicine, this technique “promotes a significant increase in airway volume of the nasopharynx and nasal cavities” and “significantly improves the quality of life of mouth-breathing patients.”
The team at Children’s Choice Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics are pleased to be offering these scientifically endorsed interventions in order to improve their young patient’s breathing, sleep, and, therefore, quality of life.
In addition to these treatment interventions, the clinic also offers myofascial therapy and takes a holistic view of sleep apnea.
As a spokesperson for the center explained, “Oral habits in growing children determine teeth, face, jaw, and airway development. Correcting poor habits early can transform a child’s present and future oral health. Through physical therapy of the oral musculature, myofunctional intervention remedies poor muscle function that would inevitably lead to diminished airway, misaligned teeth, and facial growth issues.”
With all of their sleep dentistry interventions, Children’s Choice Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics’ goal is that their young patients can not only remedy any dental issues they may have, but that they can thrive.

Case in point: the outfit she wore as she stepped off the plane for the much-anticipated Xi-Trump meeting in the US on Wednesday. Her grey dress,...
