Are Our Jaws SHRINKING? The Shocking Truth About Kids' Dental Health!

Foundations of Learning by Shali Flint

Episode notes

Have you ever wondered why so many kids today need braces? Is it just genetics, or is something else at play? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ben Miraglia of Toothpillow to explore a fascinating and somewhat alarming trend in dental health—our jaws are shrinking.

We dive deep into the consequences of having a small jaw, especially in children, and how it affects speech, breathing, and even behavior. Could thumb-sucking, pacifiers, or poor breathing habits be shaping your child’s jaw? And most importantly, do all kids really need braces, or are there alternatives?

If you’re a parent, caregiver, or just someone interested in the connection between oral health and overall well-being, you won’t want to miss this conversation!
