Reading List

With so much information available on childhood airway dysfunction prevention and sleep health, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. That’s why we’ve curated a list of must-read books to guide your research.


These books, written by leading medical experts, cover vital topics like breathing, diet, and dental health, offering actionable insights on improving these conditions. They’re also a fantastic resource for professionals, highlighting the importance of collaboration between pediatricians, pediatric dentists, and allied health professionals in children’s overall health management.


Do you have a book or author that’s not on our list but should be? Let us know! We’d love to review it and consider adding it to our Recommended Reading List or our general resources library.
