A unique pediatric clinic in Milton, owned by Dr. Sigal that focuses on Airway Centric Health Care. We have a four-fold mission at Little Bird:
1.
Little Bird Pediatric Dentistry represents Dr. Alison Sigal’s vision of pediatric health care, creating an Airway Centric clinic that focuses on optimizing the growth, development and function of all children from birth on-wards. This vision of Little Bird grew from…
- A love for children and healthcare,
- A foundation in anatomy, physiology, and function,
- And a passion for research and global multi-disciplinary collaboration
Dr. Alison Sigal is a pediatric dentist with additional training that includes orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT) and Buteyko breathing. Having learned and collaborated with pediatric health care experts from around the world, a new comprehensive airway centric assessment and approach was born. To optimize the growth, development and function of all children we care for from birth onwards, that is airway focused and comprehensive. For optimized growth, development and function, it is critical that we are breathing from our noses, having our lips sealed (closed) at rest, and with correct tongue rest posture (up against the roof of our mouths, behind the upper front teeth). Our philosophy of care at Little Bird is for optimization and prevention, to therefore avoid or minimize treatment and correction at a later, older age. This is why we work collaboratively with various health care providers and see babies within their first months of life - ensuring optimized tongue and lip rest posture, nose breathing, sleeping and feeding. Beyond babies, ALL new patients at Little Bird receive comprehensive airway centric examinations that include but are not limited to the evaluation of their breathing, sleeping, diet/chewing /swallowing and teeth. No matter how old your child is, identification and treatment can be beneficial. Dependent on the specific needs for each patient, our services at Little Bird may include (but are not limited to) Buteyko breathing re-education, orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT - exercises for the muscles of your head, neck, & airway), tongue and/or lip tie releases (frenotomies) and more.
2. Provide a community-based family first center where care can be personalized to the unique needs of each individual. Little Bird has Snoezelen/Sensory integrated features throughout the entire office. At Little Bird, we aspire to meet the needs of each of our patients through our various spaces and design. From a natural waterfall feature, to live trees, calming rooms, rebounding therapy and a classroom space for our many airway centric programs!
3. To practice and contribute to evidence based health care; having created a secure electronic charting system, this will allow for on-going research to be conducted at LB, and used to assess and continually improve patient care.
4. To continually collaborate and learn from multi-disciplinary health care providers, and evolve our practices to best meet the needs of our patients. Please visit our website at www.littlebirddental.ca for further details and to use our Airway Centric Self-Assessment Checklists to evaluate your loved ones from home! We look forward to taking care of you,
Sincerely,
Dr. Alison Sigal
