In episode 71 of the Medical Nursing Podcast we're following on from last week's feline focus and taking a look at lower airway diseases in our canine counterparts.  We might not see them as often, and they might appear more stable - well, most of the time - but these cases are anything but boring, requiring lots of nursing care, both in the clinic and long-term. Just like our asthmatic cats, it's good quality nursing that makes all the difference, and to give that great care, we need to understand the lower airway diseases we see, and the impact they have on our patients - which is exactly what we're covering in this episode. --- More free ways to learn with me:

In today's enlightening episode of The Healthy Sleep Revolution, Dr. Meghna Dassani sits down with Dr. Nimisha Somaiya, the heart behind Seva Dental in Bellbrook, Ohio. With a unique blend of clinical expertise and a deeply personal journey into sleep-disordered breathing, Dr. Somaiya shares how incorporating sleep medicine into her dental practice has transformed not only her own life and her family's health—but is now changing the lives of her patients as well.   This isn't just a conversation about straight teeth—it's about functional dentistry and how something as seemingly cosmetic as Invisalign can have life-changing impacts when used with intention. You'll discover how airway-focused dentistry plays a vital role in supporting proper tongue posture, creating space for better breathing, and ultimately helping to address conditions like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).   In this episode, you'll learn: - Why crowding of the teeth isn't just an aesthetic issue—it's an airway issue - How functional orthodontics like Invisalign can create space for the tongue and improve breathing - The importance of proper tongue posture and ideal oral resting posture - Why snoring, grinding, and bedwetting in kids should never be ignored - The variety of effective treatment options available beyond CPAP therapy - How dental professionals can be key allies in identifying and treating sleep apnea   Top 3 Takeaways from Dr. Somaiya: - Parents, pay attention to your child's sleep habits – Snoring, grinding, and hyperactivity are warning signs, not phases they'll “grow out of.” - Don't ignore a sleep apnea diagnosis – If CPAP isn't working for you, there are alternatives like oral appliance therapy that can help you breathe and sleep better. - Be your own advocate – If your doctor isn't taking your symptoms seriously, keep pushing. Find a provider who listens and offers solutions tailored to your needs.   About Dr. Nimisha Somaiya Dr. Nimisha Somaiya is an airway-focused dentist and passionate advocate for whole-person, patient-centered care.

This week on Your Mouth Matters, functional dentist Dr. Steven Lin joins us to unpack how nutrition affects not just our teeth but also our facial structure and airway. Author of The Dental Diet, Dr. Lin's discovery of Dr. Weston A. Price's pioneering research from the 1930s completely changed his perspective on dentistry. Price documented how indigenous populations around the world maintained perfect dental arches and minimal decay until they shifted to a modern processed diet. Within a single generation, significant dental problems emerged - findings that have been validated by modern science, particularly our understanding of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, and K2, which work together to guide proper bone development and calcium utilization. Importantly, most orofacial development happens early, before the age of 8, with the critical window being the first 5 years of life. The good news is that simple dietary shifts can dramatically affect a child's developmental trajectory - changes such as replacing cereal with eggs and quality animal proteins, incorporating nutrient-dense foods, and making sure they get enough fat-soluble vitamins. Dr. Lin shares practical strategies for making these changes, even with picky eaters and our challenging food environment. Listen and learn about how rising rates of airway issues and numerous chronic conditions that we see today may all link back to the nutritional deficiencies that begin with inadequate facial development. This episode provides practical tips for parents to harness the power of nutrition for optimal oral and whole body health and well-being. https://www.drstevenlin.com/the-dental-diet/
