From Bump to Baby Teeth: Early Airway & Whole-Child Dentistry with Ashburn Children’s Dentistry

Brittny Murphy, RDH, BS, COM®, QOM®, The Myo Hygienist® Episode 114

In this episode, Brittny sits down with the incredible team from Ashburn Children’s Dentistry, a pioneering pediatric dental practice known for its whole-body, airway-centered approach to oral health.

Together, we explore what true prevention looks like—starting as early as pregnancy and infancy. From supporting expectant moms and evaluating infant feeding patterns, to guiding toddlers and young children through healthy oral development, this conversation connects the dots between airway, function, and long-term wellness.

You’ll learn how early oral habits shape craniofacial growth, why airway and myofunctional screenings belong in every pediatric exam, and how collaboration between hygienists, dentists, and therapists is changing the future of children’s health.

This is a must-listen for parents, providers, and anyone passionate about redefining “kids’ dentistry” through the lens of growth, function, and whole-body balance.

Tune in to hear:

  • How airway-centered care begins before birth
  • Signs of oral dysfunction in infants and toddlers
  • The dentist–therapist collaboration that’s transforming care
  • Practical advice for parents and clinicians alike
