we are small and Hindu The wellness series will present a webinar on ‘Sleep Disorders in Children – A Slowing Epidemic’ on 29 January.
Shifa Shamsuddin, founder and director of We Little and a preventive pediatric dentist, will talk about the connection between problems in the oral cavity and sleep. She and her team work on the dental needs of children and create what’s called the Sleep Passport—a handbook for parents and children that hints at a healthy sleep routine from infancy to age 18.
The booklet provides an illustrated description of low-quality sleep and highlights the symptoms, causes and effects of mouth breathing and sleep disordered breathing (SDB), an upper airway dysfunction.
Saturday’s webinar, which begins at 11 a.m., will provide expert insight from Harvard Medical School pediatrics instructor Umakant Katwa.
