Mouth Breathing
It is quite common for parents to be unaware of
whether their children chronically breathe through their mouth during sleep, or
even the day time.
While it is normal for children to breathe through their mouth when they have a cold, chronic mouth breathing contributes to abnormal facial growth and dental development and tooth crowding. It also leads to poor sleep due to obstructed upper airways, and this sleep can adversely affect their growth and academic performance.
Mouth breathing is usually treatable if appropriate therapy begins early. Untreated mouth breathing leads to underdeveloped jaws and reduced tongue and airway space which will ultimately leads to Obstructive Sleep Apnoea later in life.
As dental professionals, we are well positioned to assess for mouth breathing symptoms. By working with well informed medical colleagues to treat mouth breathing early, many of the adverse problems can be reduced or avoided.
