In this podcast episode, Drs. Stacy and Michelle sit with Dr. Angie Tenholder, a prominent figure in craniofacial dental sleep medicine, discussing the importance of integrating neurological assessments into dental practices, particularly for pediatric patients. The conversation is highlighting the need for healthcare providers to adopt a more holistic approach to airway health, which has traditionally focused on anatomy alone. Dr. Tenholder emphasizes the role of the tongue and its neurological connections in treatment outcomes, advocating for a collaborative approach among healthcare professionals. The discussion also touches on the challenges of introducing new ideas in medicine and the necessity of being open to evolving practices. This episode is significant as it underscores the importance of understanding the interplay between dental health and neurological function, particularly in children, and encourages practitioners to consider comprehensive treatment strategies that address both physical and neurological aspects of patient care.
