About Dr. Province

A Personal Mission
Rooted in Experience

Dr. Scott C. Province is a dentist with over 25 years of experience treating adults. For the last five years, he has dedicated himself to understanding how to diagnose and treat children with early dental crowding and sleep-disordered breathing.

"I learned this firsthand when my own son's crowded teeth turned out to be part of a much bigger health picture."

Many parents don't realize that crowded teeth, snoring, grinding, bedwetting, excessive hyperactivity, and restless sleep can all be signs of an underlying issue — poor jaw development affecting breathing and sleep.

Simply put, if a child doesn't have room for their teeth, they also lack sufficient tongue space. This can greatly affect their quality of sleep. Dr. Province's goal is to help children achieve proper, restful sleep by improving jaw development and nasal breathing.

The earlier these issues are addressed, the better. Waiting until all permanent teeth erupt makes treatment more challenging, and extracting baby teeth only treats the symptom — not the root problem.

A Personal Mission

Inspired by
My Own Family

Dr. Province's passion for airway health dentistry was sparked by a deeply personal experience — when his own son's crowded teeth turned out to be part of a much larger health picture involving breathing and sleep.

That journey gave him firsthand insight into what families face, and it drives his commitment to helping every child breathe better, sleep better, and thrive.
