The Consequences of Mouth Breathing

1 / Dry Mouth

Dry mouth can help lead to tooth decay and gum disease

2 / Low Tongue Posture

It can lead to craniofacial underdevelopment, high narrow palate, and nasal constriction, which can lead to more mouth breathing.  Low tongue posture can also inhibit proper swallow patterns, not clearing the Eustachian tubes, which can lead to problems with ear infections.

3 / Poor Sleep Pattern

It can lead to mood disturbances, brain fog, ADD and ADHD in children, and poor release of growth hormone.

4 / Descrease of CO2

It can cause vasoconstriction and bronchoconstriction ( high blood pressure and breathing issues). Also, an imbalance in the body's pH can lead to bed wetting in children and frequent urination in adults.

5 / Lack of Air Filtration

It can lead to inflamed tonsils and adenoids, nasal polyps, and asthma

6 / Decrease NO2 Levels

It can lead to vasoconstriction and bronchoconstriction (high blood pressure and breathing issues)
