What is Airway Dentistry?
Dr. Susan specializes in Airway Dentistry, focusing on improving breathing issues. Our team knows how important breathing is to health. We look at the whole picture to fix airway problems. This helps you feel your best.
We use cool tools to check for things like blocked airways, snoring, and sleep troubles. Our dentists tailor plans just for you. This might mean special devices, exercises, or other steps. Better airways mean better sleep and more energy.
Don’t ignore breathing problems. Call us to see how we can help your child breathe better and boost their health.
Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB)
The size of our jaws directly influences the development of our airways, giving rise to a diverse range of symptoms and health concerns such as:
- ADHD/ADD
- Bedwetting
- Crowded Crooked Teeth
- Snoring
- Teeth Grinding
- Tongue or lip ties
Dr. Susan helps kiddos with sleep-related breathing issues. She’s great at spotting children at high risk and working with doctors. These problems have many causes, and teamwork between Dr. Susan and medical pros leads to the best care.
Recent Research Shows...
A recent study revealed a startling statistic: almost 93% of kids have crooked teeth due to underdeveloped jaws. This can cause breathing issues.
Well trained airway dentists can spot signs of poor jaw development or facial growth as early as 6 months old. Catching these signs early can mean better treatment for sleep-related breathing problems. These often happen with small jaws and mouth breathing. It’s key to teach about the benefits of breathing through the nose.
The Evergreen Sleep Solutions For Kids
Evergreen Pediatric & Airway Dentistry’s System is a forward-thinking method focusing on early jaw development. It promotes nasal breathing, which can prevent and even fix many health issues down the line. By getting to the heart of why teeth might not line up, it often means kids won’t need braces or teeth pulled.
Dr. Susan and her team are highly trained and educated to provide different treatment solutions for their little patients as young as 6 months old to their older patients in their late teens. These tools are key in helping natural growth, fighting off the negative effects of today’s lifestyle on kids’ teeth, jaws, and breathing.

Common Questions About Pediatric Dentistry
What is pediatric dentistry?
Pediatric dental care is specialized dental care designed to help children under 18 enjoy happy, healthy smiles. Pediatric dentistry should help set a child up for a lifetime of good oral hygiene habits and a beautiful smile. Dr. Susan Kim, your child’s board-certified pediatric dentist, is ready to help them maintain optimal oral health.
Why is pediatric dentistry important?
Pediatric dentistry is important because children have different dental needs than adults do. Their jaws and teeth are still developing and need the skills of a dentist who is experienced in treating children on a regular basis. We love seeing kids of all ages in our office, so you can feel comfortable bringing them here for their smile care. Dr. Susan is certified to use Vivos and HealthyStart, Myo Munchee and Myobrace program solutions that promotes healthy development to help your child avoid the need for orthodontic care.
When should a child first visit the dentist?
Generally, children should visit the dentist when their first tooth comes through, or by age 1. It’s important that your child feels comfortable about visiting the dentist, so we maintain a kid-friendly atmosphere to make their dental experiences positive from an early age. We’ll provide preventive care, closely monitor their dental development, and help with issues like pacifier use and thumb sucking.
Can I prevent cavities in my child’s teeth?
Good oral hygiene and regular care from a pediatric dentist go a long way toward preventing cavities. Make sure your child brushes at least twice a day with a toothpaste that contains fluoride, and see us every six months for an exam and cleaning. It’s also a good idea to limit their consumption of sugary or highly acidic foods ad drinks. For added protection against cavities, ask your dental team about treatment with fluoride and/or dental sealants.
Are pacifiers bad for teeth?
They can be. They can affect the alignment of your child’s teeth and may even cause changes in the roof of the mouth. Dental problems related to pacifier use are more common in children older than age 2, those who vigorously suck their pacifier, and those who use one all of the time. If you’re concerned about your child’s pacifier use, let us know. We can offer suggestions to help wean them off a pacifier.
