Supporting Oral Function at Home for Children Aged 1-4
But not much about how little faces need to function and grow.
Foundations for Growing Faces is a video masterclass designed to help toddler parents understand how breathing, sleep, chewing and everyday habits influence facial growth in the early years.
On-demand for 90 days | $29 AUD
Breathing patterns.
Chewing.
Mouth posture.
Product choices.
They all influence how the face grows, long before anyone talks about orthodontics or “problems". Most parents only hear about this after years have passed.
This masterclass exists so you don’t have to look back and think: “I wish someone had explained this sooner.”
A clear picture of what healthy oral function looks like in toddlers
Confidence to support your child at home in simple, realistic ways
Language to ask better questions if you need to seek professional help
Most importantly, you’ll be able to look at your child with more clarity and less second-guessing.
Breathing and sleep
How nasal breathing supports development, what mouth breathing can look like, and what sleep patterns are worth monitoring.
Chewing and diet
Why chewing matters for jaw growth, the role of the modern diet, and how to support chewing in day to day life.
Habits at home
Dummies, bottles, cups - what helps, what interferes, and what to prioritise.
Understanding support pathways
When home education is enough and when extra support can be helpful.
This masterclass is for toddler parents who:
Want to understand the relationship between sleep, breathing, and the mouth
Prefer calm explanations over extremes
Want to support development at home
Value knowledge and practical next steps
Another post.
Another blog.
Another 'hot take' video.
Or you could have one clear, cohesive explanation that brings everything together.
This masterclass is designed to save you:
Mental energy
Late-night Googling
Unnecessary worry
And replace it with clarity you can actually use.

AHPRA Registered Dental Practitioner
As a holistic dental practitioner, I spend my days working with children and families who want to understand what’s really going on with their child’s oral development.
Often, parents come to me after being told everything is “fine”, but they still feel unsure.
My role is to help you understand what you’re seeing, why it matters, and what to do next.
