Sleep and Your Child’s Behavioral Health

Sleep apnea disrupts the restful sleep a child requires for sound physical and mental development. When an adult suffers from sleep apnea, the gasping and choking are very obvious. But for a child, the signs are much harder to detect. They may include:
  • Snoring
  • Restlessness during sleep
  • Night terrors
  • Mouth breathing
  • Bedwetting
  • Snorting or coughing
While the child’s symptoms seem milder than an adult’s, the effects are anything but mild. Children with apnea often manifest behavioral problems, such as the following:
  • Poor school performance
  • Poor completion of tasks
  • Difficulty paying attention
  • Hyperactivity
  • Poor weight gain
Up to now, apnea solutions have included surgery or bulky appliances that cover the child’s face. New breakthroughs have resulted in a much better solution. Dr. Maryam Seifi and Breath of Life Dental offer the Vivos oral appliances which actually reshapes the mouth and airway to relieve the child’s breathing disorder. When children receive enough oxygen throughout the day and night, they can finally thrive and enjoy life both at home and school.
