If your child is struggling with sleep, behavior, or constant “mystery” symptoms, this episode is going to hit you right in the gut—in a good way.
In this conversation, I’m joined by Erin Rice from Tooth Pillow, who pulls back the curtain on something most parents have never been told: how your child’s jaw development, breathing, and sleep are all deeply connected. Erin explains why so many kids are dealing with ADHD-like behaviors, bedwetting, mouth breathing, dark circles, cavities, and exhaustion—and why these issues are often rooted in the airway, not just “bad habits” or “genetics.”
We talk about how modern feeding patterns, soft foods, and early bottle use can change the shape of a child’s jaw, and how devices like the Tooth Pillow oral appliance plus myofunctional therapy can support nasal breathing, wider arches, and truly restorative sleep—often reducing the need for braces and, in some cases, even avoiding repeat tonsil/adenoid surgeries. Erin also shares real stories of kids getting off meds, sleeping through the night, and finally having the energy and regulation their parents knew they were capable of.
If you’re curious whether your child might be affected, Erin explains how to get a free airway evaluation at toothpillow.com and how to keep learning via their Instagram community at @toothpillow_official.
