28. Tongue Ties, Airway Issues and Sleep Apnea in Adults and Kids with Jenae Ciuffreda

Health Uncovered with Mercedes Cook

Have you ever paid attention to how you breathe—through your nose or your mouth? If you often find yourself breathing through your mouth, this episode will be a real eye-opener for you. I am joined by Jenae Ciuffreda BS, RDH, CBBA, CSOM, a Certified Specialist in Orofacial Myology and a Certified Breathing Behavior Analyst/Therapist practicing in North County San Diego.

We’ll explore the anatomy of tongue posture and its crucial role in maintaining optimal breathing and overall health, delving into the evaluation process for orofacial myofunctional dysfunction and related breathing issues. Jenae will explain why early detection in children can prevent lifelong symptoms and how myofunctional therapy, combined with holistic airway dentistry, can transform lives.

Discover practical steps to identify and address these issues and understand why addressing them early can make a significant difference in long-term health.
