Skow Sleep & Breathing

05/31/2025

Nikole and I had the opportunity to attend a continuing education course with the amazing Dr. Skow, focused on airway health, tongue-tie, myofunctional therapy, and treatment strategies. It was an incredibly informative and inspiring experience!

Bed wetting is a symptom Dr. Skow successfully treats on a routine basis.
Parents sometimes say/ think “my child just sleeps so hard that they wet the bed.”

No, they sleep through being suffocated by their own airway, and bed wetting is a common symptom.

Did you know that bedwetting (enuresis) in children can be linked to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)? Research shows that kids with OSA are more likely to experience bedwetting due to disrupted sleep patterns and increased arousal thresholds. Enlarged tonsils, adenoids, and airway obstruction contribute to both conditions, making it harder for the brain to respond to a full bladder during sleep.

When a child stops breathing during sleep, oxygen levels drop, and the body goes into “fight-or-flight” mode. This puts extra stress on the heart, which then releases a hormone (ANP) that tells the kidneys to get rid of more fluid—leading to increased nighttime urination.

If your child struggles with bedwetting and also snores or breathes through their mouth at night, it may be time to evaluate their airway health!

Thank you, Faith, for your review. You make such excellent points.
Faith’s baby had been waking every 30 minutes at 9 months old and was generally fussy and discontent. They had done all the other therapies I recommend before tongue release, so the release (this one with sutures) changed the dynamic of their family. Baby girl nursed better even while she was still numb. And, she’s content and sleeping. Tongue release is not a “fad”, it’s the real deal in the hands of a provider who knows what they are doing.

I was honored to attend this very classy event in St. Louis with my daughter Lauren. (Roseman School of Dental Medicine DMD class of ‘26) We got to see some speakers who have been on my bucket list to see! 🤩 I’ll be returning to the office with newfound knowledge that I’m eager to apply. Special thanks to Dr. Movahed and Dr. Moshiri for hosting this groundbreaking collaborative event. Good times were had and new friends were made.

Dr. Skow got some exciting news this week! She is officially approved as a continuing education provider! In regard to the subject of tongue posture and craniofacial development, tongue/ lip ties, and treatment for all ages, she will be providing an educational platform. Anyone in the field who takes her classes will obtain CE credits. We at Skow Sleep have worked hard for this!!

Please, please, take 6 minutes of your time for this.

I “find” children like Connor every day.
