This week we’re chatting with the amazing Dr Shereen Lim about oral and airway health in children! We discuss what it means if you have a ‘mouth breather’, the impact of dummies and thumb sucking on airway health, snoring in children and what this means, oral and tongue development in kids and so much more!

Dr Shereen Lim is a Perth based dentist with a post graduate diploma in dental sleep medicine from the University of Western Australia. She has been involved in the team management of snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea since 2011. 

Dr Lim is dedicated to promoting airway health from infancy as an alternative approach to minimize the development of these problems, and is author of the book “Breathe, Sleep, Thrive: Discover How Airway Health Can Unlock Your Child’s Greater Health, Learning and Potential.”

Her work in private practice is restricted to tongue tie management from infancy to adulthood, early interceptive orthodontics and myofunctional therapy.
