24. How Parents Are Driving the Airway Health Revolution with Dr. Shereen Lim
Tuesday, 15 July, 2025
Too often, parents are told their child will “grow out of it.” Snoring? Normal. Grinding? Just a phase. Bedwetting? Don’t worry about it. But what if those symptoms are actually red flags—and you’ve been dismissed over and over? In this episode of Dentistry Disrupted, Dr. Craig Clayton is joined by airway health pioneer Dr. Shereen Lim, author of Breathe, Sleep, Thrive, for a conversation that will resonate with every parent who’s ever felt unheard. Dr. Lim shares how her own experience as a mom—and hearing stories from dismissed and desperate parents—drove her to write a book that connects the dots. Because parents don’t need another brush-off, they need tools, information, and the confidence to trust their gut and take action. This episode is your permission slip to dig deeper. To question. To advocate. We're at a tipping point. Just over a decade ago, Dr. Lim was almost blocked from speaking at a university conference because her airway-focused approach was seen as “outside the norm.” Today, her clinic is so full she’s had to close her books—and more providers are waking up to the importance of early intervention. The movement is happening, and parents like you are leading the charge. 💪🏼 What We Cover: The alarming number of children being missed and dismissed by providers Dr. Lim’s personal story of helping her own daughters—and what she wishes she knew sooner Why airway issues like mouth breathing, sleep disruption, and bedwetting aren’t just “normal” How her book Breathe, Sleep, Thrive gives parents a framework to understand and act The pushback she faced early on—and why the momentum is finally shifting How parents are the key to driving change in pediatric airway health Where to go and who to trust when you’re looking for answers Resources Mentioned: Breathe, Sleep, Thrive by Dr. Shereen Lim Link to her Facebook page AAPMD Provider Directory Breathe Institute Directory Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Airway Health and Dental Sleep Medicine02:30 The Journey into Airway Medicine05:14 Early Intervention in Orthodontics07:45 Personal Experiences with Children's Airway Health10:22 The Impact of Early Treatment12:55 Understanding Airway Issues in Patients15:39 Inspiration Behind 'Breathe, Sleep, Thrive'18:23 Communicating Complex Ideas Simply21:43 Understanding the Gaps in Healthcare23:51 The Shift Towards Holistic Health27:12 The Role of Parents in Healthcare Advocacy32:12 Transformative Patient Stories35:48 Empowering Parents with Knowledge41:12 The Importance of Collaborative Care
