subject: Dallas Orthodontist Dr. Ron Perkins Specializes In Diagnosing And Treating Sleep Apnea In Children [print this page] Parents with children that are having trouble sleeping, such as being restless or snoring, often don't consider that there may be a bigger problem that should be examined. Sleep apnea in children is far more common than most realize and is often overlooked. Dr. Ron Perkins is an orthodontist in Dallas who specializes in treatment of sleep disorders in children. His expertise in this area has helped numerous patients throughout Dallas and the surrounding areas.
Dr. Perkins also committed to raising awareness about sleep apnea in children so that more parents will recognize the symptoms if they occur. Signs like dark circles under a child's eyes, constant fatigue, grinding of the teeth and heavy or short breathing during sleep can all be indications of sleep apnea. With early treatment, this is a problem that can be overcome so that the child is both healthier now but also as they grow older.
There are different approaches to treating sleep apnea in children and Dr. Perkins determines which he feels will be the most effective after a thorough examination. Typically the goal is to improve the airways so the child can breathe better and create more space for the tongue to move. Treating this condition is just one aspect of Dr. Perkins' practice, where he also offers Dallas Invisalign services and treatment of TMJ. He is regularly recognized as one of the top orthodontists not just in Dallas but across the state of Texas so parents should contact his practice today to set up a consultation for their children.
