CHILD-FOCUSED dentistry

Laying the Foundation for Strong Smiles and Better Breathing

At Epic Dentistry, we believe that children’s dental care is about more than preventing cavities—it’s about setting the stage for lifelong health. That’s why we take an airway- and growth-focused approach from the very first visit. By starting care early, we’re able to track how your child’s teeth, jaws, and facial structures are developing, and offer gentle, non-invasive solutions that support optimal growth.


In addition to routine cleanings and preventive care, we evaluate things like breathing patterns, tongue posture, oral habits, and how your child swallows—all of which can influence everything from dental alignment to sleep quality. If we detect signs of poor muscle function or narrow jaw development, we may recommend early orthopedic solutions like Myobrace®, The Vivos® Early Start System or other growth guidance appliances. These help correct harmful habits, promote nasal breathing, and create the space needed for permanent teeth to erupt naturally—often reducing or even eliminating the need for braces later on.


Through a combination of education, early intervention, and compassionate care, we empower families to build strong, balanced smiles from the ground up—supporting better breathing, better sleep, and better health for years to come.
