About Pure Health Airway Study Club

The Pure Health Airway Study Club is a groundbreaking initiative created to advance understanding and improve outcomes in pediatric airway health. Established by Dr. Paul Sheils, this study club brings together a diverse community of healthcare professionals dedicated to sharing knowledge and developing solutions that enhance the lives of children. With a focus on early intervention, the study club explores the impact of conditions like tongue ties, facial growth, and airway development issues on children’s long-term health and well-being.

Dr. Sheils founded the Pure Health Airway Study Club to bridge the gap between dental care and airway health, inspired by a personal journey that underscored the urgency of this mission. After witnessing his teenage son struggle with severe sleep apnea, Dr. Sheils embarked on a path to deepen his expertise in airway health and its connection to dentistry. His experience with his son’s diagnosis and the challenges surrounding pediatric airway health ignited his commitment to bring greater awareness to these issues, guiding him to establish both PureHealthDental and the Pure Health Airway Study Club.

A Father's Mission

Our Mission

At the Pure Health Airway Study Club, we are driven by a mission to shed light on pediatric airway health through collaboration, research, and education. Our aim is to empower healthcare professionals from various fields to intervene early and provide children with a foundation for lifelong health. We recognize that airway health in early childhood has a profound impact on sleep quality, cognitive development, and overall well-being. By equipping professionals with the knowledge and tools to address these issues, we seek to create a generation of children who thrive physically and emotionally.

Core Areas of Focus

Our study club emphasizes three primary areas critical to pediatric airway health:

  1. Pediatric Airway Health: Identifying and treating airway issues at an early stage can prevent a multitude of health complications as children grow. Our discussions and events center around the benefits of early detection and intervention in managing pediatric airway health.
  2. Tongue Ties: We delve into the complexities of tethered oral tissues (tongue ties), which can restrict tongue mobility, impacting facial development, airway health, and posture. Through specialized sessions, we aim to expand professionals’ understanding of how tongue ties affect a child’s growth and to present effective treatment options.
  3. Facial Growth Guidance and Expansion: Proper facial development is essential to airway health, and early orthodontic and orthopedic interventions can help guide facial growth effectively. Our study club highlights innovative approaches to facial growth and expansion, stressing the importance of intervention during the crucial developmental years to support better airway health.
