Snoring in children is often dismissed as normal but what if it’s actually a warning sign of deeper health issues?
In this episode, Dr. Liz Turner and Dr. Meggie Graham is joined by Paediatric ENT Specialist Dr. David McIntosh to explore the powerful connection between airway health, sleep quality, and child development. They break down why snoring, mouth breathing, and restless sleep should never be ignored and how these issues can impact brain function, behavior, and long-term health.
This conversation also dives into the importance of early intervention, the role of tonsils and adenoids, and why collaboration between dentists and ENTs is critical for better outcomes.
Dr. McIntosh brings extensive expertise in airway obstruction, sinus disease, and paediatric ENT care. He holds a PhD in sinus surgery healing, is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS), and has contributed to global research and education in airway health.
If you’re a parent or provider looking to better understand the hidden impact of sleep and breathing this episode will change how you see it.
