Airway Focused Dentistry in The Woodlands, TX

Supporting Healthy Breathing and Development Through Early Dental Care

What Is Airway Dentistry?

Airway dentistry focuses on improving how your child breathes by addressing the relationship between oral structures and the airway. Since the shape and position of the jaws, tongue, and teeth can impact airflow, we assess these areas to identify any restrictions that may affect breathing, sleep, or development.

Using a combination of diagnostic tools and treatment approaches, we help guide proper jaw growth, encourage nasal breathing, and reduce issues like allergies, mouth breathing, and sleep disturbances. Airway dentistry can also support better posture, facial development, and long-term oral health.

Breathing Better Starts with Healthy Development

Good breathing habits start early, and at Tiny Tooth Company, we know that the way your child breathes affects their whole body. Airway dentistry identifies barriers early and helps create a path for healthy sleep, growth, and lifelong well-being.

We guide proper jaw, tongue, and nasal development to improve airflow naturally. With proactive care, we can help your child avoid future challenges like chronic congestion, restless sleep, and orthodontic problems before they even start.

Benefits of Airway Dentistry

Support Healthy Growth

Early airway support ensures your child’s mouth and face structure develop in a healthy way securing patient airway passages for better oxygen intake.

More Fulfilling Sleep

Treating childhood sleep apnea and disruption gives them their nightly peace back. Better sleep means better focus to excel in school, life and more.

Prevents Future Problems

Children are most responsive to early intervention. We’ll help their growing mouths avoid costly orthodontic and dental treatments in the future.

Boosts Overall Health

Proper airway development supports better breathing, reducing risks of chronic issues like allergies, fatigue, and behavioral challenges linked to poor oxygen intake.

Does My Child Need Airway Dentistry?

Restricted breathing can stem from oral structure, tongue or lip-ties, allergies, asthma, or orthodontic issues. We’ll assess your child’s airway, sleep habits, and overall health to identify concerns and determine if airway therapy could help improve breathing and development.

A dental exam is always the best place to start, but here are a few other symptoms you might recognize with your child at home:

  • Audible breathing
  • Snoring or heavy breathing during sleep
  • Difficulty waking up
  • Frequent bedwetting
  • Night time sweating
  • Dry mouth or sore throat after waking up
  • Allergies

"There is truly no one else I would want to take care of my babies. Dr. Sarah is kind, compassionate and patient every single time. She is so knowledgeable and you can tell how passionate she is about what she does. She is helping my daughter with her airway issues and I am so thankful. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my kids"

"Tiny Tooth Company is in great hands with Dr. Sarah Arafat! She’s been practicing for years, and I’ve personally experienced her skill—she’s incredibly thorough, detail-oriented, and has the lightest hands. She truly loves what she does and goes above and beyond to educate both parents and kids, making every visit as fun and stress-free as possible.

As a compassionate mother of two she knows exactly how to make children feel comfortable in the chair. If you’re looking for a pediatric dentist who genuinely cares, look no further—she’s well worth the travel! I’m beyond excited for her practice to open!"

My children have been in her care their whole lives (I have a 3 year old and a 7 year old both of which are quite sassy! ) She’s always professional and I don’t know how she manages to get them to be absolute angels in her chair. I’m also a general dentist- she’s my number one call or text for any pediatric consult questions and I’m so grateful for her advice. Honestly she’s the highest  level of care for your little ones! Best decision you could make for your child."
