Episode 24: Breathing New Life: Understanding Airway Health and Palate Expansion with Dr. Chase Edwards
In this episode, we’re diving deep into the world of airway health with Dr. Chase Edwards, a leading expert in airway and palate expansion, as well as the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Dr. Edwards explains how dental treatments can play a pivotal role in improving not only our oral health but also our overall well-being by addressing issues that go far beyond just the teeth.
We explore the connection between the alignment of your jaw and your breathing, why airway obstruction might be the root cause of sleep apnea, and how non-invasive dental treatments—like palate expansion—can significantly improve sleep quality, energy levels, and even cognitive function.
If you or someone you know suffers from sleep apnea, snoring, or breathing issues at night, this episode is a must-listen! Tune in to learn about:
- The role of dental professionals in diagnosing and treating sleep apnea
- How expanding the palate can open up the airway and improve breathing
- The long-term health benefits of airway-focused dental treatments
- And the surprising ways that airway health impacts your daily life
Dr. Edwards also shares advice for identifying symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea, narrow palate and how early intervention can make a world of difference. Whether you're looking to optimize your own sleep or want to better understand airway health for your loved ones, this conversation will leave you breathing easier.
