Structure. Function. Follow-through.

A broader conversation starts with what your team notices every day: inflamed gums, worn teeth, habitual mouth breathing, and questions about sleep.

Longevity Dentistry is Dr. Sonya Reddy’s educational approach to connecting these observations with a fuller health history and collaborative care.

Three questions to bring into practice

What do we observe?

Document oral findings and the patient’s account of sleep and breathing. Keep observations distinct from diagnoses.

How do structure and function fit together?

Consider anatomy alongside tongue function, habitual breathing, and follow-through. An appliance or a structural intervention is one part of a wider care plan.

Who needs to be in the conversation?

Recognize the limits of dental assessment and coordinate with qualified medical, sleep, ENT, and orofacial myofunctional professionals as appropriate.

Bring this conversation to your team

Talks and educational sessions help dental teams ask clearer questions, explain their findings, and plan referrals. Continuing education credit depends on the sponsoring organization and its approval process.
