One thing I wish more people knew is that breathing doesn’t have to feel “bad” for there to be something worth paying attention to.

Small things like mouth breathing, restless sleep, waking up tired, or feeling tense through the jaw can give us clues about what’s happening with the airway.

That’s why I take the time to look at the whole picture, not just the teeth. My goal is to help patients understand what their body may be trying to tell them and find the right next step for their health.

Small changes can make a meaningful difference.

This trend, but make it airway dentistry. 🤍

Breathing well. Waking up refreshed. Nasal breathing. A well-supported airway. Restful sleep. Feeling heard and cared for.

These are the things I want for my patients because dentistry can tell us so much more than what is happening with the teeth alone.

When we pay attention to how you breathe, sleep, and function, we can start seeing the bigger picture of your health.

Feeling well looks good on you.

I’ve always believed that the relationship between a patient and their dentist should be built on trust.

That means being honest when something needs attention, being thoughtful about when treatment can wait, and taking the time to explain what I’m seeing and why it matters.

It also means listening.

Every patient who walks through my door brings a different story, a different set of concerns, and a different idea of what feeling well looks like.

My job is not to tell you what you should want.

My job is to understand what you need, give you the information you deserve, and help you make decisions that feel right for you.

Transparency. Humility. Empathy.

Those aren’t just words I want associated with my practice. They’re the values I try to bring into every patient interaction.

And on Sundays, I think it’s worth remembering why we do what we do in the first place.

Dental care should be about more than treating what’s visible.

I believe in looking at the bigger picture, how your teeth, jaw, tongue, airway, breathing, sleep, and overall comfort work together. Through my Airway First Approach™️, I focus on understanding the “why” behind symptoms and creating personalized care that supports your health from the inside out.

Your dental experience should feel different, too. You deserve to feel heard, comfortable, and cared for, not rushed through another appointment.

If you’re ready for a more comprehensive approach to your oral health, let’s start with a conversation.

I’ve had the privilege of being part of so many of your stories, and I’d love to hear what moments you remember most.

Maybe it was your first visit, something I said during your appointment, a conversation we had, or a moment when you finally felt heard and understood.

Tell me your favorite memory. I love hearing from you.💛

Clinical hypnosis is not the same as daydreaming.

Daydreaming is something most of us experience naturally. Clinical hypnosis goes further, using deeper relaxation and increased suggestibility while you remain aware, responsive, and in control.

One of the questions I hear most often is, “Will I lose control?”

The answer is no. Clinical hypnosis is not about making you do something you do not want to do, and you are not asleep during the process.

As a member of the teaching committee of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis, I’ve had the opportunity to study and teach this work in a professional clinical setting, and I want patients to understand what hypnosis actually is before forming an opinion based on the misconceptions around it.

We also offer clinical hypnosis at Colorado Dental Wellness Center for patients who may benefit from this type of guided support.

Sleep-disordered breathing doesn’t always look like someone struggling to breathe at night.

It may show up as teeth grinding, restless sleep, waking tired, difficulty concentrating, changes in memory, or simply never feeling fully restored after sleep.

These are some of the clues that make me want to look deeper at the airway.

For me, an Airway First Approach™️ means not looking at one symptom in isolation. It means considering how someone is breathing during sleep and whether the airway could be contributing to what they’re experiencing during the day.

Recognizing these signs early can be especially important in children as they grow and develop, while adults may have been living with these symptoms for years without realizing there could be a connection.

If any of these signs feel familiar, it may be worth taking a closer look at the airway.

I don’t want to guess when I can look deeper.

A CBCT/3D Scan gives me a 3D view of the structures I’m evaluating, including the jaws, nasal passages, teeth, and surrounding anatomy. When I’m looking at an airway concern, that perspective can reveal details that simply aren’t visible during a traditional dental exam.

It’s one part of how I practice my Airway First Approach™️: understanding the anatomy first, then connecting what I see with the patient’s symptoms, history, and clinical findings.

A CBCT/3D Scan alone does not diagnose a sleep or breathing disorder, but it can help us recognize when the airway deserves a closer look.

Biobloc expansion fitting in progress. ✨

At this appointment, I’m making sure the appliance is seating properly, feels comfortable, and fits the way it was designed to before we begin using it.

With growing patients, the goal is to create more room within the developing arch and guide growth as thoughtfully as possible, rather than only looking at where the teeth are today.

The fit matters. The way the appliance sits, how the patient bites with it in place, and how comfortably they can wear it all become part of the treatment process.

This is one piece of the bigger picture I look at through my Airway First Approach™️: growth, function, breathing, and development all deserve to be considered together.

If you’re curious about whether expansion may be appropriate for your child, you can learn more at dratousasafavi.com or call (303) 691-3333 and our team can help answer your questions.
