FRISCO, Texas, July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dr. Dunia Korous, founder of Millennium Smiles, has been personally invited by Maryam Pourkohan, Founder and CEO of Kids USA Montessori, to participate as a featured vendor and educational speaker at an Open House and back-to-school collaboration event on Saturday, July 25, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Kids USA Montessori, 8890 Meadow Hill Drive, Frisco, Texas 75033. The event brings families together to learn about the connection between healthy jaw development, airway health, breathing, sleep, and a child’s overall growth and development.
The goal of the event is to help parents understand how the way a child’s jaw and airway develop can influence breathing, sleep quality, and daily well-being. Through community education, parents will learn how recognizing early signs may help children receive timely evaluation and appropriate care from the right professionals.
During the presentation, Dr. Korous will discuss a range of developmental and airway-related topics, including underdeveloped jaws and facial development, airway development, mouth breathing, chronic nasal congestion, snoring, and poor-quality sleep. She will also address signs such as sleep-disordered breathing, repeated ear infections, enlarged tonsils and adenoids, narrow dental arches, crowded teeth, teeth grinding (bruxism) and clenching, and tongue posture and oral habits.
The discussion will also review current research suggesting that airway obstruction and sleep-disordered breathing may be associated with a variety of concerns in children, including ADHD-like symptoms, difficulty concentrating, learning challenges, behavioral concerns, anxiety, mood changes, depression, and daytime fatigue. Researchers have also explored possible associations with restless sleep, frequent nighttime awakenings, chronic allergies and nasal congestion, asthma-related breathing concerns, recurrent ear infections, headaches, and reduced quality of life.
Parents attending the event will learn how healthy jaw growth supports proper breathing and airway development, which common warning signs they can recognize at home, and why nasal breathing is important for healthy childhood development. Dr. Korous will also explain when a child may benefit from further evaluation by the appropriate healthcare professionals.
Dr. Korous emphasizes that the best outcomes come from a multidisciplinary approach. Pediatricians, ENT physicians, sleep physicians, orthodontists, myofunctional therapists, and airway-focused dentists each play a role in supporting children’s health, and she encourages families to think of care as a collaborative effort across these specialties.
Millennium Smiles is committed to improving children’s health through education, prevention, and early intervention. Events like this give families practical information that can help children breathe better, sleep better, learn better, and enjoy a healthier quality of life. Kids USA Montessori, founded by Maryam Pourkohan, operates campuses across North Texas and shares Millennium Smiles’ commitment to educating families and supporting children’s development.
“I’m grateful to Maryam Pourkohan and Kids USA Montessori for inviting me to be part of this important conversation,” said Dr. Dunia Korous, founder of Millennium Smiles. “When parents understand how breathing, sleep, and jaw development are connected, they are better equipped to recognize early signs and seek the right care. Together, we hope to empower families with knowledge that can make a real difference in a child’s lifelong health and well-being.”
