OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA (OSA)
AS RELATED TO TETHERED ORAL TISSUES (RTOTS)
Dentistry and medicine are equal partners in helping infants grow up
healthy. As pediatric dentists, even age one may be too late for the first
oral examination to intercept or prevent many medical problems that originate
with tethered oral tissues that develop into adulthood, where issues
are now only managed. Brain development and good breathing are critical
in infants’ first 90 days. The clinician discusses various comorbidities such as
obstructed sleep apnea, air-induced reflux, and how we wear many hats and
provide care that is missed by the medical profession.

Learn:
• why RTOTS need to be corrected as soon as possible
• how RTOTS can influence brain development
• how the dentist needs to examine infants, toddlers, and older children
for RTOTS
• how ADHD is it due to the failure to open airways
