<p>Dear Parents,</p><p>We all want a good life with great health for our children. How your child's jaws develop before age 12 has a huge influence on his or her facial appear-</p><p>ance and overall health as an adult. Deficient jaws lead to crowded and crooked teeth, lackluster look, weak chin, parted lips, long face, narrow</p><p>palate, and more medical, dental, and mood troubles later in life.</p><p><br></p><p>It's time to widen our viewfinders to see the pivotal role of the mouth in a growing child's overall health. This short book shows you the red flags</p><p>in dental-facial development: chapped lips, cranky moods, bunched-up teeth, teeth grinding, frequent cavities and respiratory infections, poor</p><p>posture, head tilt, bed wetting and more, plus what to do about them.</p><p><br></p><p>Your Child's Best Face shows the transformation from duckling to swan with real-life cases. You will learn to nurture your child for a fuller face</p><p>and straighter teeth - without drugs, surgery, needles, and in some cases even without braces. You will discover a new breed of dentists trained as</p><p>Airway Mouth Doctors (AMDs) to provide professional guidance toward your child's Best Face in chapter 1.</p><p><br></p><p>An AMD is a dentist with additional training beyond teeth and gums in oral contributions to overall health. An AMD has an expanded skill</p><p>set on oral facial growth in adults and children to help widen airway, support sleep, and align head-jaws-spine to bring on vibrant health</p><p>without surgery or medications.</p><p><br></p><p>This book provides new awareness and possibilities, not medical or dental advice. Individualized care can only be provided by your doctor, dentist,</p><p>or AMD. To keep this book short and sweet, only a fraction of the science is included. Readers seeking more in-depth information are encouraged</p><p>to refer to books listed under Resources on page 94. If you find some messages are repetitive, it's done intentionally to emphasize those points.</p><p><br></p><p>For best results, I suggest you read this book in the order presented, including taking your own Impaired Mouth Syndrome self-survey next.</p><p>Raising a child can be quite challenging at times. Nurturing Best Face for top health can be a great joy. I hope this book helps you.</p><p><br></p><p>Felix Liao, DDS</p><p>Falls Church, Virginia USA</p><p>October 2022</p>
