If you said yes to any of these, your child may have sleep disordered breathing. Find out how a mom of two and physical therapist knew her kids had a problem when she heard them snoring.
It’s a common habit with research showing more than half of children breathe through their mouths. Left untreated in childhood, this bad habit can lead to abnormal development of the face, teeth and smaller airways in adulthood, potentially causing a lifetime of health issues.
Children need to breathe through their noses to receive sufficient oxygen. Over time, research has shown a direct impact of mouth breathing on cognitive ability, learning, and behavior. Nighttime mouth breathing can result in sleep disorders including snoring and sleep apnea. Your child should never snore.
