The Harmful Effects of Mouth Breathing - Coast Dental

Written by: Dr. Nijam January 09, 2020 The benefits of breathing through the nose is that the fine hairs present inside the nose acts as a filter to prevent unwanted particles from entering the lungs. Breathing through the nose also helps to warm and humidify the air which is inhaled. When breathing through the mouth, the benefits of nasal breathing is lost. Apart from not getting the benefits of nasal breathing, mouth breathing carries a large number of harmful effects. For some children, even as nasal breathers the tongue does not rest at the top of the mouth due to a presence of a tongue tie, poor muscle tone of the tongue or a change in resting posture of the tongue from the extended use of milk bottles and pacifiers during infancy. Due to the low resting posture of the tongue, the upper jaw develops in a forward direction and becomes narrow. Keep Similing Coast Dental Written by Dr Nijamuddeen A.

Introducing your child at a young age to dentistry is a great way to instil good dental habits and prevent numerous dental problems which may arise later on in adolescence or adulthood. A child’s first tooth erupts at about 6 months. By the age of 3, children should have a full set of baby teeth. Your child’s baby teeth are just as important as their adult teeth. The baby teeth are important for nutrition, speech development and act as a guide for the adult teeth to erupt.
