Mouth Breathing & Sleep Health
Mouth breathing reduces oxygen to the brain and increases the risk of respiratory issues and allergies. It often begins in childhood and can persist in adulthood.
Snoring, a form of disordered breathing, occurs when soft tissue vibrates as air flows through the nose and throat. Though it may seem harmless, loud snoring and gasping for air can indicate a more serious issue.
