226: Mouth Breathing, Bedwetting & Behavior: The Hidden Connection with Dr. Kassi Klein.
Description
In this eye-opening episode of Oh Crap with Jamie, I’m joined by pediatric airway dentist Dr. Kassi Klein to talk about something that’s affecting way more kids than you might think: airway health. From mouth breathing and bedwetting to sleep struggles and ADHD-like behavior, Dr. Kassi helps us connect the dots between jaw development, oral habits, and the behavioral and developmental challenges we often chalk up to “just being a kid.”
Whether your child snores, grinds their teeth, struggles to sleep, or seems to have constant meltdowns - you need to hear this. We’re diving into the overlooked signs of airway issues, the long-term impact of underdeveloped jaws, and what parents can actually do to help.
