Dentists & Pediatric Health
Dentists are the gatekeepers of the oral cavity and play a critical role in ensuring overall health and wellness because, as we know and science has proved again and again, the link between oral health and general health is undeniable. This is even more important when it comes to growing kids. Which is why we aim to provide conditions for proper and healthy development, and we do this in two ways: by paying attention and by eliminating barriers that may prevent correct development. Comprised by dentists, orthodontists and other specialists, our Pediatric Facial Growth & Airway Health team is 100% dedicated to your children.
If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, you should consider a Pediatric Facial Growth & Airway Health Assessment for your child.

When we see signs that sleep, breathing, or growth is off track in our youngest patients, we can and should act immediately. Starting with a Pediatric Facial Growth & Airway Health Assessment, and by correcting growth patterns and habits early on, we may prevent or even resolve many oral and systemic health issues. And how do we do this? With the help of Bbite.
Bbite, a top-of-the-line appliance available at White Clinic, is a soft removable oral appliance that is designed to eliminate or improve bad oral habits, as well as other problems such as Sleep Disordered Breathing or Growth and Development issues, which may be hindering optimal dental health and even the child’s overall wellbeing.
The Bbite appliance targets specific and fundamental action areas within the mouth:
Provides a better balance of the tongue with the roof of the mouth, assisting in a more natural expansion of the jaw and dental arches to properly position the teeth and jaws.
Supports the development of a proper lip seal to restore the benefits of nasal breathing.
