Received: March 20, 2020; Published: July 31, 2020 Abstract Newborn infants are considered obligate nasal breathers, hence dependent on a patent nasal airway for ventilation [25]. This is not From birth we are designed to breathe through our nose. Infants take their first breath through their noses once they are born. to mean that infants under certain conditions cannot breathe through their mouths. Throughout life, there are conditions that can change a person from properly breathing through the nose to becoming a mouth mouth breathing does not. Mouth breathing not only limits a person’s ability to perform healthy functions, it adversely affects the breather. The nose is the correct orifice to breathe through, and nasal breathing brings benefits for maintaining a person’s health that development of the craniofacial features and proper function of the dental occlusion, as well as mandible and maxillary growth. This article will examine the different stages of life regarding breathing and summarize some of the deleterious effects of mouth breathing they often observe the adverse effects of mouth breathing during routine dental visits. Identifying some of the changes that result and the benefits of nasal breathing. The dental team are in an exceptional position to address these concerns with their patients since from mouth breathing will help dental professionals to guide their patients to make informed decisions for improving overall health for themselves as well as family members.
