Sleep Apnea in Children
Sleep apnea in children is considered as one of the under-diagnosed conditions. Sleep apnea in children can affect their academic performance and can have long-term effects. It is recommended that you have a thorough screening done for your child if you suspect that he or she is having a sleeping disorder.
Our Treatment Plan
Sleep apnea or TMJ disorder therapies that work for adults may not be suitable for children and may even hinder the skeletal development of your child. TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of South Western Ontario will evaluate and look at the various symptoms of TMJ or sleep apnea in your child to provide a personalized treatment. Proper diagnosis and treatment can help prevent both TMJ and sleep apnea from aggravating as your child grows.
Visit us and let our experienced doctor check and treat your child for TMJ.
