Airway-Centered Dentistry: Unlocking Health Through Breathing

For years, dentistry has been fixated on teeth—how they align, how they function, how they look. But what if the real source of dysfunction isn’t the teeth at all, but the airway? This paradigm shift is at the heart of airway-centered dentistry.

This paper introduces airway-centered dentistry through a biological lens. It explores how craniofacial structure, nasal breathing, and oxygen flow affect not only oral health but full-body wellness. For patients struggling with fatigue, TMJ pain, behavioral issues, or sleep disorders, the airway may hold the answer.
