We are\u00a0made to breathe through our noses!\n\n\n\n

Watching your kid sleep peacefully is not only a lifesaver for all the parents out there but it\u2019s also cute. These tiny creatures, no matter how fast they grow, will always be your babies!\n

Parents have to observe everything happening to their kids while they are growing. Moms are naturally more attentive and might get anxious about small normal things changing in their baby\u2019s routine.\n

However, there are things both parents should give their full attention to. For example, if your kid is sleeping with their mouth open. It might look normal at first, but it might tell a lot about\u00a0medical issues\u00a0for your children.\n

Viral Strange\u00a0has collected some information about what health issues might sleeping with their mouth open causes to your children.\u00a0*Be cautious that any information presented by us is purely informational and you should seek a doctor\u2019s medical advice and treatment!\n

1. Sleep apnea\n

Breathing through the mouth can cause sleep apnea, a sleep\u00a0disorder\u00a0causing a person\u2019s breathing to stop and then start again, doctors\u00a0say.\n

Sleep apnea is one of the most serious medical indications. The symptoms might also include loud snoring, insomnia, and fatigue during the day. Sleep apnea can also lead to other health problems, such as heart, liver, and metabolic issues.\n

Obstructive sleep apnea\u00a0is a type of disorder when the throat muscles relax and don\u2019t let the air go through the regular way.\n

2. Dry mouth\n

The air entering the mouth while breathing\u00a0dries out\u00a0the lips, and gums. The natural bacteria living inside our mouths changes, and it can lead to gum problems and tooth decay.\n

3. Dental and jaw problems\n

\"\"\n

Sleeping and breathing through the mouth can lead to dental and jaw\u00a0problems, such as crooked teeth, malocclusion, a bad bite, etc.\n

As you can see\u00a0here,\u00a0mouth breathing affects the tongue position, which leads to a bad bite and crooked teeth.\n

4. A long and narrow face\n

\"\"\n

The face becomes longer because of the low tongue posture coming from mouth breathing, show the\u00a0studies. Mouth breathing also can lead to a convex face with a sloping forehead and a small chin.\n
