A century of adenotonsillectomys failure to fully resolve sleep-disordered breathing: mild malocclusions are maybe not so mild? -- Kevin Boyd DDS MSc August 15, 2020 #RadianceOMT #sleepdisorderedbreathing

Tongue Mobility . . . Tongue ties can contribute to many aspects of one's life and many are overlooked as the contributing factor. Understand how, why it can be overlooked as a contributing factor. Question everything, research, and understand it! #RadianceOMT #tonguemobility

Can breathing through the nose protect you and others? Thanks Roger Price for the great graphic

Teeth are living structures They need nutrients like any other tissue in the body in order to maintain the strength and integrity of their enamel. In order to s...upply teeth nutrients, the body has an inner transport system. It is called the dentinal fluid transport. Its not well known that dentinal fluid transport ( DFT ) plays an even more crucial role in tooth decay than we give credit for. Drs. Ralph Steinman and John Leonora have published papers on this phenomena. They published over 100 of articles that provide the basis for DFT theory in which dental caries resistance is ultimately mediated by nutrients and hormones. In their studies rats were injected with radioactive tracer. In well fed healthy rats Steinman was able to trace the radioactive substance from - the injection site - into the blood stream - into the pulp canal of the tooth - through the dentinal tubules - into enamel rods - clear out of the mouth This process after injection would take roughly an hour. In the experiment group, a decay producing diet was used. The diet would reverse the fluid flow. Fluids flowed from the: - Surface of the tooth - Through the enamel (bringing bacteria with it) - Through dentine - Into the pulp chamber In these rats, tooth decay would be observed. The flow could be turned one way or the other just by altering the diet. Results were the same either way. What they ingested controlled the amount of decay they generated. Steinman and Dr. Leonara an endocrinologist were the first isolate parotid hormone that is released from the main saliva gland. When parotid hormone is produced the fluid flow ran from the pulp chamber bringing nutrients into all parts of the tooth. The body can replenish teeth and has an active system to do so via the blood-tooth connection and the brain-tooth connection. Ultimately diet directs in what direction nutrients flow either inside out or outside in. Ultimately the brain is calculating nutrient levels in the body and will tell the body how to absorb its surroundings. What a fascinating system.... Anyone have a question on dentinal fluid transport?

Nose Breathe -> The nose is our first line of defense against pathogens, but our immune-system will never get the chance to say shields up and fight for us, if those pathogens are invited directly into our lungs through the oral breathing route. Check out TBIs latest blog release to learn more about how our bodies naturally protect us, and a few simple things we can all do to back them up in fighting the good fight. #Themoreyouknow #Thebreatheinstitute #airwayhealth #Lungevity #covid19 #adaptiveimmunity #nasalbreathing #stayIN #stayINside #stayINtouch #stayINvolved #stayINtheknow #stayINnovative #stayINdefatigueable #RadianceOMT

Inspiration & Bringing Me Calm . . . Thank you Zach Bush -- "Every single condition on the planet has now been tied back to the microbiome" 1:13:43 - research released last week, "intriguing that they're finding the unifying risk of fatality from this virus (COVID-19) itself it's the vulnerability that comes in the pneumonias and other conditions that come after the viruses infects you and so they're unifying feature they are finding in the victims is this dysbiosis there" - unbalanced microbiome in the gut. #RadianceOMT, #Microbiome, #holistic

Information related to COVID-19 We want to inform you effective today March 16th ALL Dental Hygiene services are suspended immediately at Radiance Dental Hygiene (elective and non-essential dental hygiene services) until further notice.

Cup drinking, simple right . . . , make sure the rim of the cup is between your little ones lower lip and tongue. When the tongue continues to rest on the lip, under the cup, it encourages an altered swallow referred to as a tongue thrust swallow. Place the rim of the cup directly on the lower lip so the tongue can freely move. With a little help, this little one is no longer resting the cup on top of his tongue. #RadianceOMT #FunctionalSwallow #TongueThrustSwallow #OMD #orofacialmyofunctionaltherapy #myofunctionaltherapy

LISTEN and SILENT are spelled with the same letters. The Dalai Lama says, "when you talk, you are only repeating what you already know. But if you listen, you may learn something." A new episode of The Sisu Way with Patrick McKeown. #RadianceOMT, #Buteyko, #Mouthbreather, #Nosebreather

Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS) -> similar to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA); soft tissue of the throat relaxes, reduces the size of the airway, and results in disturbed sleep and subsequent daytime impairment, including excessive daytime sleepiness. Sound familiar! https://stanfordhealthcare.org//upper-airway/symptoms.html #UARS #SleepDisorders #Snoring #Daytimesleepiness #RadianceOMT

THE KEY, children need to harness the tongue-palate connection, then they breathe through the nose, and develop a nice wide palate, for straight strong airways and smiles and more . . . that is NORMAL. Mouth breathing and open mouth posture, is NOT normal! Nor healthy.
