May 400:27:30Tap to summarizeIs your child restless at night, snoring, or grinding their teeth? What if those sounds are silent signals of deeper airway and jaw development issues? Discover how early intervention can transform sleep, behavior, and lifelong health. Snoring isn’t just noise—it’s a warning sign. In this episode of me&my health up, host Anthony Hartcher sits down with Dr. Shereen Lim, one of Australia’s pioneering dental sleep medicine specialists, to uncover the hidden links between mouth breathing, jaw development, and childhood wellbeing.

Parents will learn practical signs to watch for—like teeth grinding, bedwetting, or restless sleep—and discover holistic pathways to support thriving growth. This conversation is a wake-up call for parents, caregivers, and anyone concerned about the long-term impact of sleep and breathing disturbances.

She emphasises that when oral function and jaw growth are off track in childhood, it impacts airway development, breathing, sleep, and overall growth. By addressing the root causes of poor oral function early, Dr. Lim helps unlock better airway health, restorative sleep, and lifelong vitality. Most of what she practices today wasn’t taught in dental school—it comes from learning across disciplines and connecting dots with world-leading experts. Her holistic, integrative approach advances collaboration between professions, ensuring patients receive care that goes beyond surface fixes to lasting solutions.
