At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we do more than protect teeth—we help ensure your child can breathe, sleep, and grow properly. Our pediatric airway dentistry in Montclair, NJ, focuses on identifying and treating issues related to oral and facial development that affect breathing, such as mouth breathing, snoring, or sleep-disordered breathing.
Through early evaluation and airway-focused treatment, we aim to guide proper jaw growth, improve nasal breathing, and reduce long-term complications. Whether your child is struggling with sleep, chronic congestion, or facial development concerns, our airway-conscious approach supports whole-body health.
A healthy airway is essential for restful sleep, brain development, and overall wellness. Pediatric airway problems often go unnoticed but can impact everything from behavior to learning. Early detection through airway-focused dental care can prevent years of difficulty for your child.
We evaluate your child’s breathing, jaw alignment, and facial growth during routine visits. Our team collaborates with ENT specialists, orthodontists, and pediatricians when needed to create a plan that promotes optimal airway development and function.
