From mouth breathing and thumb sucking to crowded teeth, broken sleep and stubborn dummy habits - The Face Place gives you a clear path forward.
Your child is stuck in a thumb sucking or dummy habit and you’re at your wit's end.
You’ve already seen an ENT for mouth breathing or sleep concerns… but still feel like something’s missing.
Your child doesn’t have gaps between their baby teeth and “start saving for braces” doesn’t feel like enough of an answer.
Your child has tongue, lip or cheek ties and you're overwhelmed by conflicting opinions.
You're sick of being told "less sugar, more fluoride" is the answer to your child's tooth decay.
You've got a mental list of things that don't seem right with your child's mouth and you need someone to put it all together.
At The Face Place, we look at how breathing, tongues, sleep, and dental development are connected, instead of treating them as separate issues.
Our role is to help little mouths and muscles work better, support healthier habits, and give you clear, personalised next steps for your child.
Mel plays detective with children’s sleep and breathing, trains tongues, and gives families the time and support they need.
With a background in dental practices and a bigger-picture view of oral function and child development, she helps families feel clear about what to do next.
You don’t have to keep guessing, Googling, or waiting for someone to take your concerns seriously.
