Abstract:

Optimal outcomes in airway, feeding, and oral functional disorders require more than procedural expertise—they demand intentional, multidisciplinary collaboration. In this lecture, Dr. Radhika Kapoor presents a holistic, prevention-driven model in which pediatric dentists take a leadership role in coordinating care. Integrating laser-assisted frenectomy, myofunctional therapy, lactation consulting, bodywork, airway diagnostics, and early orthodontics, Dr. Kapoor demonstrates how pediatric dentistry can guide and connect diverse specialties. Drawing from real-world cases spanning infancy through adolescence, she will highlight how structured sequencing of care improves functional outcomes, patient satisfaction, and long-term wellness. Attendees will gain practical strategies for building referral networks, enhancing cross-disciplinary communication, and moving beyond release-centered care toward root-cause, team-based treatment planning. The goal: to inspire providers to embrace collaboration as the foundation of airway-focused, integrative dentistry.
