    Episode 11: What I Wish I Knew About My Kids’ Airway Health with Mitzi PerkinsWhat happens when you learn about pediatric airway health and suddenly start recognizing the signs in your own children?In Episode 11 of The Pediatric Breathing Project, Dr. Piya Gandhi sits down with Mitzi Perkins, a mom of four boys, Houston content creator, and new patient coordinator at West U and Tanglewood Pediatric Dentistry, for a conversation about pediatric airway health from a parent’s perspective.After joining Dr. Gandhi’s team, Mitzi began learning about signs like mouth breathing, restless sleep, teeth grinding, drooling, feeding difficulties, tongue ties, and poor sleep. The more she learned, the more she began connecting the dots in her own family.Mitzi shares what happened when her youngest son’s persistent mouth breathing led to an airway evaluation, and how seeing changes in his sleep made her begin asking questions about her other children. Looking back, she recognized signs stretching all the way back to infancy, including breastfeeding and latch difficulties that she once blamed herself for.Dr. Gandhi and Mitzi also discuss their experiences navigating tonsil and adenoid removal, traditional orthodontics, tongue ties, expansion, myofunctional therapy, and the difference between simply creating straight teeth and looking at how a child is actually breathing, sleeping, and functioning.Most importantly, this episode is a reminder to parents to trust what they’re seeing. If your child is mouth breathing, snoring, grinding their teeth, sleeping restlessly, struggling with feeding, or simply doesn’t seem to be thriving, those signs deserve a closer look.In This Episode:• The airway signs Mitzi wishes she had recognized sooner• Her experience struggling to breastfeed four children and what she knows now about tongue function• Why persistent mouth breathing after tonsil and adenoid removal raised questions• How airway treatment changed her youngest son’s sleep• Looking back at traditional orthodontic treatment through an airway-focused lens• Sleep, behavior, ADHD symptoms, and pediatric airway health• Expansion, tongue ties, and the importance of treating function alongside structure• The changes Mitzi saw in another son’s migraines and eating after treatment• Why snoring, mouth breathing, teeth grinding, bedwetting, and restless sleep deserve attention• What parents should ask when choosing an airway provider• Why airway treatment often requires collaborative care• The importance of both parents understanding the treatment plan• Why parents should trust their instincts and continue asking questions when something doesn’t feel rightResources from Dr. Piya GandhiWebsite:https://drpiyagandhi.com/Free Airway Checklist & Resources:https://drpiyagandhi.com/Find an Airway Provider Near You:https://drpiyagandhi.com/website_4530a186/#directorySubscribe to The Pediatric Breathing Project for more conversations about pediatric airway health, sleep, jaw development, tongue ties, oral function, and the signs parents and healthcare providers can recognize earlier.If this episode reminds you of your own child, share it with another parent who may be asking the same questions.________The Pediatric Breathing Project with Dr. Piya Gandhi explores how airway health, jaw development, and sleep impact childhood wellness.

  • Everything We Were Taught About Pediatric Airway Was Wrong

    Everything We Were Taught About Pediatric Airway Was Wrong
    2026/07/22

    What if everything we were taught about pediatric airway health was wrong?

    In Episode 10 of The Pediatric Breathing Project, Dr. Piya Gandhi is joined by fellow pediatric dentist, educator, entrepreneur, and author Dr. Kalli Hale for a thoughtful conversation about how pediatric airway dentistry has evolved, why so many children still go undiagnosed, and how curiosity, collaboration, and continued learning are changing the future of healthcare.

    Dr. Kalli shares her journey into airway-focused dentistry, the misconceptions many providers were taught about pediatric snoring and teeth grinding, and why identifying airway issues early can have a lifelong impact on a child's health. The conversation also takes an honest turn into the realities of building an airway-focused practice, navigating burnout, and finding sustainable ways to lead, teach, and care for patients without sacrificing your own well-being.

    In this episode:

    • How Dr. Kalli's journey into airway dentistry began
    • The early signs of pediatric sleep-disordered breathing
    • Why mouth breathing should never be ignored
    • The connection between bruxism, enlarged tonsils, tongue ties, and airway health
    • Why collaborative care leads to better patient outcomes
    • Common misconceptions parents and providers still hear today
    • Burnout, boundaries, and leadership as female healthcare professionals
    • Practical advice for parents looking for answers
    • Guidance for providers interested in incorporating airway-focused care into their practices

    2026/06/18

    Many parents focus on symptoms. Allison Evans believes we should be asking why those symptoms exist in the first place.

    In this episode of The Pediatric Breathing Project, Dr. Piya Gandhi sits down with Allison Evans, co-founder of Branch Basics, to discuss the powerful connection between environmental toxins, sleep, airway health, nervous system regulation, and whole-body wellness.

    Allison shares her personal healing journey from severe PCOS and chronic pain to founding one of the most recognized toxin-free home brands in the country. Together, Dr. Gandhi and Allison explore how the choices we make at home can impact everything from sleep quality and behavior to airway development and long-term health outcomes.

    They also dive into Allison's experience navigating airway treatment with her own children, including palate expansion, bodywork, myofunctional therapy, tongue ties, retention, and why she believes every parent should understand the connection between breathing and health.

    Whether you're a parent, healthcare provider, or simply interested in a root-cause approach to wellness, this conversation is packed with practical insights and empowering takeaways.
