The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast1KHO 970: Breath Through Your Mouth As Often As You Eat Through Your Nose | Dr. Sheryl Pomerance, About Face
By age three, a child's mid-face has already reached approximately 70% of its adult size. Yet most families don't begin thinking seriously about orthodontics until their children are teenagers. Dr. Sheryl Pomerance, integrative dentist, orthotropics specialist and author of About Face, joins Ginny Yurich to explain why the way children breathe, chew, and use their tongues may influence far more than the appearance of their smiles. Drawing from her own difficult health journey and decades of clinical experience, she challenges the assumption that straight teeth automatically mean a healthy mouth. The conversation reveals surprising connections between mouth breathing, frequent cavities, crowded teeth, sleep difficulties, and facial development. Ginny also shares her family's experience seeking early intervention and the questions she wishes more parents knew to ask. With insights for families raising young children and adults facing longstanding concerns, this conversation offers a different way to think about breathing, development, and lifelong health.
