Healthy breathing is essential to a child’s growth, development, and overall well-being. Pediatric airway dentistry focuses on identifying early signs of airway restriction that may affect sleep quality, facial development, learning, and behavior. Dr. Truman takes a gentle, preventative approach by evaluating jaw growth, tongue posture, bite alignment, and nasal airflow.
Early intervention strategies can encourage healthy breathing habits and reduce the need for more complex treatment later in life. Our family-focused team creates a comfortable environment where children and parents feel informed, supported, and confident in their care.
Sleep apnea affects more than 22 million Americans every year!

When you visit Drakes Creek Dental, we’ll start with a thorough evaluation to fully understand your symptoms and sleep patterns. Using advanced diagnostics and attentive listening, Dr. Truman will assess your airway, oral structure, and overall health to craft a treatment plan tailored just for you.
Depending on your needs, treatment may involve oral appliance therapy (OAT). An oral appliance is similar to a nightguard, and it’s designed to gently adjust your jaw or tongue’s position to keep your airway open during sleep. These devices are easy to use, comfortable, and highly effective, often eliminating the need for a CPAP machine.
After starting your sleep apnea treatment, we’ll continue to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to optimize your results. Our team is here to answer questions and guide you towards better health, because your comfort and success matter to us. Throughout the process, we’ll ensure you’re completely informed and confident in your care.
