It is quite frequent to see children breathing through their mouth instead of their nose. The mouth breathing per se may not bring about much damages but the posture of the jaws during the procedure and dryness created by constantly inhaled air could produce some damaging effects.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT FOR A CHILD TO BREATHE THROUGH THE NOSE
1. Purification of the inspired air: Nose filters air and humidifies it before entering the lungs.
2. Normal development of nose, wind pipe, lung and stomach muscles which assist in breathing occur with a regular nasal breathing.
WHAT HAPPENS IF A CHILD HAS UN ATTENDED MOUTH BREATHING
1. The child may develop a long face as he/ she bends the neck forward in order to straighten the airway.
2. Mouth breathing may lead to middle ear infections and speech could acquire nasal tone.
3. In extreme cases the sense of smell could be diluted and with it taste sensation and appetite could get affected.
