Airway Focused Practice
Airway-focused dentistry is an approach that emphasizes the connection between dental health and the proper functioning of the airway. Focusing on the airway aims to not only improve dental aesthetics and function but also contribute to the overall health and quality of life of our patients.
Dr Myriam Berrahil is an airway focused dental provider who focuses on the structure of the mouth, how it impacts the children’s breathing and their developmental well-being. Our office goal is to address issues in children such as crowded teeth, poor jaw development, and mouth breathing before they worsen and potentially lead to more severe breathing problems later in life.

I am Dr. Myriam Berrahil and while I am keenly waiting to meet you in person, let me tell you about my background:
I first earned my bachelors degree in Microbiology at The University of Texas in Austin. I then continued at The University of Texas in San Antonio where I received a Certificate in Cytogenetics before enrolling at Boston University, where I earned my Doctorate in Medical Dentistry. I then moved to sunny Florida to obtain my Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) Certificate at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale. After graduation, I completed a pediatric dental mini-residency at The University of Florida in Gainesville, then started my professional career. Concurrently, I attended Advanced Dental Modules at the Pankey Institute and have completed over 1000 hours in continuing education, specifically on ankyloglossia and tongue function and continue to attend classes, courses, and conferences. Currently, I am an active member of numerous professional organizations including American Laser Study Club (ALSC), International Academy of Orthodontics (IAO), American Academy of Gnathologic Orthopedics (AAGO), and American Academy of Craniofacial Pain (AACP). Additionally, I am a frequent lecturer at the renowned Pankey Institute as well international dental conferences and symposiums. It is this knowledge and experience that I am eagerly waiting to share with you and your family in our office. |
