Keeping your child healthy – pediatric care in Kansas City and Leavenworth
Does your child snore loudly, like a freight train? Are you worried that a recent ADD or ADHD diagnosis might not tell the full story, or that thumb-sucking could cause lasting problems? Does your child struggle with bedwetting, morning fatigue, school difficulties, or allergies? These could all be signs of Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB).
SDB is a broad term for breathing difficulties during sleep, ranging from mild snoring to severe airway obstruction. When a child’s breathing is interrupted, the body reacts as if it’s choking—slowing the heart rate, raising blood pressure, arousing the brain, and disrupting sleep. These interruptions can affect both dental health and overall well-being.
Our Dr’s at Little Chompers have researched and experienced first-hand the power of this solution. It has a positive impact on the immediate and long-term health and well-being of your child. They are among only a few doctors in this area trained to offer this innovative new system!
