Today Dr. Morgan interviews Dr. Dan Bruce, an airway-focused dentist, as we break down how the shape of the roof of our mouth, called our palate, together with our tongue positioning can affect many areas of our lives, starting in infancy. The palate and tongue don't just affect things like eating and speaking. These parts of our bodies are central to health, and in this episode, we discuss the connection of how these parts of our mouth affect the growth and look of our entire face, how we breathe well (or not), if we have negative health outcomes like sleep apnea, and how it can contribute to behavioral problems like ADHD.
