But for those who have airway problems, it is never that simple – especially for children. “Children who suffer from air-passage problems never get enough oxygen to the brain, which causes them to never get enough sleep,” Dr. Stuart Frost, an orthodontist and author of “The Artist Orthodontist: Creating An Artistic Smile is More Than Just Straightening Teeth.” “They typically do poorly in school...
Last week I was in Indian Wells for the California Association of Realtors winter state directors meeting.
