Have you ever wondered why some people clench their jaws, grind their teeth, or snore at night — and what any of that has to do with your dentist?
At My Smile Health Centre in Burnaby, we’re excited to invite you to an inspiring evening that answers these questions — and more.
On Tuesday, November 11, 2025, from 5:00 pm to 7:30 pm, Dr. Ivy Yu will host an Airway Education Event dedicated to helping people understand the science and life-changing benefits behind Airway Focused Dentistry.
If you’ve ever struggled with sleep issues, chronic fatigue, or TMJ pain — or if your child breathes through their mouth — this event is for you.
What Is Airway Focused Dentistry?
Airway Focused Dentistry is an approach that looks beyond the teeth and gums to consider how your mouth, jaw, and airway work together. Instead of treating oral problems in isolation, it focuses on how breathing impacts your entire body — from your posture to your energy levels.
When the airway is too narrow or the tongue falls back during sleep, airflow becomes restricted. This can lead to snoring, teeth grinding, mouth breathing, and even obstructive sleep apnea. Over time, it can affect everything from your heart health to your concentration and mood.
An Airway Focused Dentist like Dr. Ivy Yu uses advanced diagnostics and a holistic understanding of oral anatomy to identify these patterns early — and provide solutions that improve breathing, sleep, and overall wellness.
Why Attend the Airway Education Event
This free community event will open your eyes to how much your airway influences your health. You’ll learn how Airway Focused Dentistry helps both adults and children breathe easier, sleep better, and live healthier.
At the event, Dr. Ivy Yu will cover:
- How restricted airways impact sleep, energy, and focus
- Why mouth breathing matters more than most people realize
- The connection between jaw position, tongue posture, and airway function
- Early signs of airway problems in children
- The role of modern dental technology (like 3D imaging and the Vivos® system)
- How treating the airway can reduce TMJ pain, fatigue, and chronic tension
This event isn’t just for people with obvious breathing issues — it’s for anyone who wants to understand the deeper connection between oral and overall health.
Why Airway Health Matters
Your airway is your body’s life supply — every cell in your system depends on proper oxygen flow. When you don’t breathe well, your body doesn’t rest, repair, or function as it should.
Symptoms like morning headaches, jaw tightness, and daytime tiredness often trace back to poor airway function. And yet, most people never realize the dentist could be the one to help.
That’s where Airway Focused Dentistry changes everything. It doesn’t just repair teeth — it restores balance and health to the entire system that supports breathing, sleeping, and living comfortably.
