A Functional Perspective on Oral Health (Ft. Dr. Molly Hayes)

SHE with Jordan Lee Dooley

Did you know that 9 out of 10 children show at least 1 symptom of sleep-disordered breathing in their childhood?

Or that mouth breathing at night can lead to lots of issues from inadequate sleep to poor digestion?

There is so much to learn about the functional world of oral health - from pacifier use to oral restrictions, mouth breathing, and the use of sippy cups.

In this episode, Jordan talks with functional dentist Dr. Molly Hayes about everything moms need to know about holistic oral health.

• How pregnancy and breastfeeding affect mom’s oral health
• Why dentists discourage the use of sippy cups in children and what alternatives to use instead
