Finding the Root Cause
The Open Airway & Breath Institute is a dedicated holistic dentistry practice that specializes in airway health dentistry. Breathing is life, and an insufficient airway can cause us not to get enough air to meet our body’s needs. Our approach to airway health dentistry focuses on finding the root cause of your breathing problems and correcting them using a variety of methods.

Making the proper diagnosis is the key to creating the appropriate treatment to help you and your child achieve Oral Fitness for Life.
