What if the key to your child’s overall health, behavior, and even success in school was right under your nose—literally?

In this fascinating episode, Dr. Ben Miraglia, a leading expert in airway-focused pediatric dental care, joins us to talk about how proper jaw development, nasal breathing, and tongue posture are critical to your child’s health. Through his groundbreaking program, Tooth Pillow, Dr. Miraglia is helping families identify and address the root causes of orthodontic and behavioral challenges before they become bigger problems.

Dr. Miraglia explains how crowded teeth, snoring, restless sleep, and even attention issues can all be traced back to poor breathing habits and underdeveloped jaws — and how early intervention (ages 3–12) can make all the difference.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your child really needs braces—or what signs to look for that might point to deeper health issues—this episode is a must-listen.

We also hear from author Leah Cypess who is celebrating her new early chapter book Miriam's Magical Creature Files #1: The Truth About the Tooth Fairy
