What is Myofunctional Therapy?

Our hygienist Felicia is here to talk about myofunctional therapy. Never heard of it? You’re not alone! Myofunctional therapy is the missing link that can help with:

  • Chewing
  • Swallowing
  • Breathing
  • Sleeping
  • General health issues

Basically, most everyone can benefit from it. At Dr. Ian Gray Dental Group, we use myofunctional therapy in conjunction with orthodontic treatment to improve oral health, physical well-being, and quality of life.

Attention! New Moms & Parents of Young Children Need to Watch This!

Felicia is back from maternity leave and has important information to share. Her newborn son was having trouble nursing and sleeping and experiencing reflux. What was the issue? After seeing a pediatric dentist, she discovered he had a tongue tie and a lip tie. Now that she has addressed those, her son is doing much better. If your newborn or young child is having problems of any kind, it could be related to their mouth.

It’s Good to Know People

Dr. Ian Gray is always pursuing knowledge and seeking to broaden his skills. Today, he talks about having a surgical mentor — someone he trusts to perform highly specialized procedures on his patients and who helps him continue to learn and grow in his own practice. There is always something more to learn, especially in dentistry.

Did you know your nose is a filter?

As Dr. Ian Gray always says, breathing through your nose is healthier for your body than breathing through your mouth. In this video, he explains a little more using a real-world example. Breathing through your nose filters and cleans the air before it enters your lungs. Your mouth does not have any mechanisms to do that. Learn more about it in the book Breath by James Nestor, and visit driangraydentalgroup.com to request an airway assessment and consultation.

Surprising signs that your child has an inadequate airway

Does your child snore, show signs of hyperactivity, have attention deficit issues, or wet the bed at night?

They may have an airway problem. Dr. Ian Gray specializes in treating children with inadequate airway using special appliances and techniques that optimize airway development. Learn more in this video. If you’re concerned about your child’s breathing, don’t hesitate! Contact Dr. Gray.

Dr. Ian Gray has braces! You’ll never guess why…

At Dr. Ian Gray Dental Group, you can find a solution to relieve your TMJ symptoms, whether that be braces, an oral appliance, or a combination of dental and orthodontic treatments.

Breathing & Brain Development: A Crucial Connection for Children

Oxygen is essential for life. Everyone knows that. But have you ever considered the effect a compromised or underdeveloped airway can have on brain development in children? Of course, Dr. Ian Gray has. Airway development is crucial to many other essential body functions, including brain development. If you have little ones, give them the best chance for success with an airway assessment. Visit driangraydentalgroup.com to learn more.

My teeth are getting longer! How can that be?

If it seems like your teeth are getting longer, it’s not because they’re growing. It is more likely because your gums are receding.
