The Mom & Dentist Conversation You Need to Hear

What if your child’s “behavior issues,” sensory struggles, or school problems were actually a breathing problem no one ever checked?

Meggie Graham sits with Shelby Clement, owner of Shelby Clement Marketing Agency (SCM), to unpack the real-life story of Shelby’s son, Willie, a little boy who was exhausted, melting down, picky with food, struggling in school, and nearly labeled with ADHD and sensory processing disorder. After countless appointments, pushback, and almost accepting labels that didn’t feel right, Shelby followed her gut and discovered something no one had mentioned before: airway health.

In this powerful conversation, Meggie and Shelby connect the dots between breathing, sleep, behavior, learning, and even long-term health. You’ll hear how maxillary expansion and airway-focused dental care helped Willie go from constantly tired and overwhelmed to sleeping better, eating more, loving sports, and acting like the vibrant five-year-old he was meant to be.

This episode is equal parts science, mom intuition, and hope for any parent (or provider) who feels like something’s off but hasn’t found answers—yet.

Key points in this episode:
-How Willie went from “maybe he’s autistic/ADHD” to “he just couldn’t breathe”
-Why airway health is the missing link between sleep, behavior, and learning
-Subtle red flags in kids: bedwetting, picky eating, meltdowns, fatigue, “ADHD,” dark circles, mouth breathing, forward head posture
-What moms can look for in their child’s face, mouth, teeth spacing, and sleep patterns
-Why so many doctors and dentists miss airway issues (and why it’s not about blame)
-How maxillary expansion and airway-focused dentistry changed one family’s story
-What adults should know about snoring, fatigue, anxiety, Hashimoto’s, and heart health in relation to sleep and breathing
-The power of mom intuition—and why you should never stop asking questions when something feels off

This episode is for you if:
-You’re a mom who feels dismissed but knows in your gut something is wrong
-You’re a dentist who suspects there’s more to “crowded teeth” than genetics
-You’re an adult who is exhausted, anxious, and still not waking up refreshed
-You’ve been told “they’ll grow out of it,” and that answer just doesn’t sit right
