Parents of Connor Deegan and the American Association of Physiological Medicine and Dentistry (AAPMD) present the video above to illustrate the startling effect dental practitioners can have on a patient’s overall quality of life.
The AAPMD, amultidisciplinary group of health care professionals and consumers, dedicated to providing fuller, integrated care for children and adults focuses on issues relating to:
- Sleep Disorders and Airway Obstruction
- Craniofacial Pain
- Child Growth and Development
- Chronic Inflammation
- Sports and Academic Performance
This video offers one situation in which the accurate diagnosis led to complete behavioral shift, and suggests that every parent in this situation should be asking ‘has a dentist checked the growth and development of my child’s mouth?’
