I’m a dentist with a special interest in helping children overcome challenges with infant feeding, swallowing, breathing, chewing, and speech. I do this through a collaborative team approach to tongue tie management, and promoting good oral function and good jaw development. When oral function and jaw development is off track in childhood, it affects the way our airway develops and works, and the way we breathe, sleep and grow. Getting to the root of poor oral function and jaw development when there are functional problems, ultimately promotes better airway health, breathing, and sleep, which in turn unlocks greater health and wellness for life. Most of what I do today was not taught to me in dental school, and it came from learning from many different perspectives, and world leading experts in their fields. Follow my journey connecting dots, to offer a holistic and integrative team approach to care, and my commitment to advancing collaboration between professions to serve patients beyond Sparkle better.
