Dr. Dayan’s input on the dangers of mouth breathing in children was published in msn.com’s Better Health Magazine. In the article entitled, “100 Ways Your Home Could Be Making You Sick”, Dr. Dayan revealed that if a child becomes allergic to a family pet their nasal passages could become obstructed, forcing the child to breathe through their mouth. One effective remedy is to avoid keeping pets in the bedroom especially when the child is sleeping. This is very important in infants up to age 9 when the face and airway are developing. You can read the full article here.

The Dangers Of Mouth Breathing In Children

What are the dangers of mouth breathing in children, you might wonder. Mouth breathing is a risk factor for sleep apnea, sleep deprivation, ADHD, poor facial development and crooked teeth. The mouth closed and the tongue on the roof of the mouth is the key to proper development of the face, teeth and airway. As soon as the mouth opens during mouth breathing the tongue drops and the upper jaw starts to grow down instead of forward, the lower jaw grows back instead of forward to avoid being locked in by the upper teeth, the palate collapses and then so does the nose and airway. This can set up the child for a lifetime of problems with sleep, breathing, sleep apnea and expensive braces to straighten the teeth.

Developing children must have the right environment to be able to close the mouth, breathe through the nose and place the tongue against the roof of the mouth.

Dr. Dayan was featured in Martha Stewart Living Magazine in the article titled The 10 Worst Foods For Your Teeth.  Her input on acidic fruit and teeth was rated #2 on the list!  She discussed that while citrus fruits are extremely healthy, it is best not to eat them by  fruit mulling, where the fruit is chewed for a long period of time.  This is one of the major causes of tooth erosion (along with coke swishing and acid reflux).  

What is tooth erosion?  As hard as tooth enamel is, the high acid content can cause it to demineralize.  Saliva has a natural buffering action that can remineralize the teeth but not when the acid exposure is prolonged.  

Other habits like Coke swishing also contribute to dental erosion.  Consumers of soft drinks like Coke sometimes do not like the sensation of the fizzy bubbles going down the throat and hold the Coke in the  mouth until the fizz goes away.  This prolongs the exposure of the teeth to the acidic Coke and is harmful for the teeth.

You don’t have to give up fruit in order to prevent teeth erosion.  Here are some tips to consider:

• Never suck on lemon and limes.
• Rinse with baking soda and water after to neutralize the acid.
• Eat cheese after your fruit.
• Dr. Dayan recommends a tooth cream called MI Paste that helps strengthen teeth with a unique calcium and phosphate releasing formula.
• Be sure to keep up your Magnesium levels.  Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is necessary for strong teeth.

Dr. Dayan reveals a surprising insight into horrifying habits in BestLife.com in the article “23 Things You’re Doing That Would Horrify Your Dentist.” Sleeping with your mouth open is one of the most harmful habits, leading to illnesses like snoring and sleep apnea.   Mouth breathing dries out the mouth and introduces bacteria from the air into the mouth and body.  The nose is the best organ for gas exchange.  The nose warms and humidifies the air and draws in nitric oxide from the sinuses to purify the air and improve gas exchange.  Furthermore, breathing through the mouth creates a low tongue posture that is dysfunctional.  A low tongue posture contributes to orthodontic relapse, gum disease, sleep apnea and snoring.   Dr. Dayan offers treatments to break mouth breathing habits including orofacial myology, a sleep and bruxism guard and laser frenectomy of tongue-ties (if necessary) Link to Article …
