String Flossing vs. Water Flossing 💧🦷

String floss and water flossing do different jobs. String floss scrapes away sticky plaque between teeth. Water flossing washes out food, bacteria, and debris where string can’t reach—like under the gumline or around braces and implants.
They’re not competitors—they’re a dream team! Using both together gives you the most complete clean and keeps your gums healthy.
Which one do you use more—string floss or water floss?

Holistic Dentistry – Our Approach
To us, 'holistic' means treating the whole body, not just teeth.
As an airway-focused dental practice, we look at how jaw growth, alignment, and oral habits affect your breathing, sleep, posture, and long-term health.
We go beyond dentistry with exercise physiology and myofunctional therapy to support your overall well-being.
And because what goes in your mouth matters, all our fillings are BPA-free — safer for you, better for your health. 🦷

Did you know that by age 5, a child’s facial structure is already 85% of its adult size?

This isn’t just an interesting fact — it’s a wake-up call. Craniofacial growth is happening rapidly in the early years, and if it’s going in the wrong direction, waiting to address it can mean missing the window for optimal development.

Many kids show signs of dysfunctional growth patterns early on — mouth breathing, poor sleep, snoring, dark under eyes, crowded teeth — but these red flags are too often dismissed as “normal.”

The truth is: they’re not normal — they’re common. And left unaddressed, they can affect airway health, sleep quality, behavior, and even cognitive development.

That’s why tools like the Fairest-6 — a simple screening tool to catch these signs early, when intervention is most effective and least invasive.

If you’re noticing these signs, don’t wait to ask questions. Depending on the child’s age and symptoms, support may come from:
• An airway-focused pediatric dentist
• A ENT
• A myofunctional therapist
• Or a speech-language pathologist (SLP) trained in oral motor skills and feeding

Early, collaborative care can make all the difference.
