Did you know that chronic mouth breathing can aggravate snoring or sleep apnoea? Not many people are aware of the importance of nose breathing, as it decreases your risk of dental problems and also for your general health.
In case you are a chronic mouth breather, I want to share with you 5 important reasons why you should breathe through your nose.
- Supports good facial development and straight teeth.
- Helps reducing snoring and sleep apnoea.
- Leads to better sleep, higher oxygen concentration in the blood and higher energies during daytime.
- Improves your oral health, since the amount of saliva increases to help rid your mouth of harmful bacteria and neutralizing acids.
- Keeps your mouth moist and decreases the risk of tooth decay and cavities. Also decreases the risk of gum disease and gingivitis.
I hope to encourage you to take all potential ENT issues serious as they not only affect your dental health, but also your life quality. In case you are not sure if some of your dental health symptoms are related to ENT problems, please book an appointment.
Keep Smiling,
It’s good for You!
