Paula Anderson has been my son’s myofascial therapist for the past year. She joins me today for the second part of a two-part series where she speaks about the importance of quality sleep, the benefits of nasal breathing, and the role of oral posture in maintaining an open airway, preventing illness and pain, and improving sleep quality.
Today, in Part 2, she explains why snoring is neither healthy nor normal and discusses what sleep-disordered breathing may lead to.
Issues caused by upper airway resistance (a form of sleep-disordered breathing):
Clenching or grinding teeth
Tossing and turning

She instantly realized how that field could be applied to everything they do in dentistry. She also realized that her entire family, including herself, could benefit from this therapy.
From mouth breathing and snoring, ortho relapse, and TMJ, she dove in and learned from the best in the field.
She has always loved holistic health, and working with a team approach to whole-body health and myofunctional therapy is her contribution to this field.
She is IAOM (International Association of Orofacial Myologists) trained and is also a member of the International Association of Orofacial Myologists.
She is also a certified MyoMunchee practitioner. She has lived in the Quad Cities her entire life, and she and her husband have four daughters, two sons-in-law, two grandsons, and several fur babies. They also run a successful dental practice (Anderson Dental), and in her free time, she enjoys spending time with family, especially at her cabin in Wisconsin.

How nasal hygiene can help adults keep their airways open and healthy (8:17)
What is sleep-disordered breathing? (9:24)
