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.
