How Mouth Breathing Affects Children’s Teeth

Dry Mouth

Mouth breathing reduces saliva flow, causing dry mouth, which increases the risk of tooth decay and gum infections.

Tooth Decay

With less saliva, mouth-breathing kids face higher cavity risks because saliva helps wash away food and neutralize acids.

Gum Problems

Dry tissues from mouth breathing can irritate gums, making them red, swollen, and more prone to gum disease.

Mouth breathing may reduce oxygen intake at night, affecting sleep quality, energy levels, and daytime concentration in kids.
