Still feeling inspired after learning from one of the best, Dr Derek Mahony, last week.
We spent the day learning about early interceptive treatment for developing malocclusion. In simple words, how we can spot changes in a child’s bite, jaw growth and oral development early, then support them while they are still growing.
I absolutely love learning more about this because it fits so closely with everything I look for in the children I care for. Teeth are never just teeth. Breathing, sleep, tongue function, habits and jaw growth can all be connected.
It was one of those days where my brain was very full, but I came home feeling excited and thinking about all the little people I may be able to help.
Thank you, Dr Mahony, for sharing your knowledge and continuing to inspire us to look deeper, ask more questions and support children earlier.
