If your child struggles with sleep breathing / sleep disordered then it’s important to understand why.
If there is one topic we should all be talking about more regularly, is how are our kids breathing.
A quick assessment may ask how they are they breathing during the day? How does this compare to when they are sleeping? Do they sleep with their Mouth open? Does your child snore?
These questions need to be on every parent’s lips, but the issue is that once we see the problem, we find a very complex human health issue nearly all kids are experiencing today.
Pediatric dental development is linked to the airway, and crooked teeth are shrinking our kid’s breathing capacities, resulting in snoring and dangerous absences of oxygen during critical brain development phases.
This week I have the absolute pleasure of interviewing Dr. Kevin Boyd DDS, a specialist pediatric dentist who has been sounding the drum on the huge issues facing our developing human dental arches. We will dive into the anthropology, physiology, and practical solutions to help parents GROW a child’s face.
Sleep breathing and sleep disordered in toddlers and kids shouldn’t be ignored and Dr. Boyd helps us understand what to do next.

Hi Steven,
I loved this interview.
I have developed an idea about the Mew index.
The Mew index is a ruler tip of nose to incisal edge,
but that is a curve of various incisal positions when seen from sideways:
the edge could be back or it could be forward.
It is important to measure what I can the ” Mew Angle “.
Give me a call sometime
