Mouth Breathing Can Change Your Child’s Appearance

I’ve covered the subject of mouth breathing quite a few times on this site, and for good reason. There are so many negative health consequences to breathing through the mouth, but sadly, they’ve generally been missed or ignored by mainstream medicine.

Thank goodness that this is starting to change, and more practitioners and medical professionals are addressing mouth breathing and its connection to health. However, there’s another part of the mouth breathing equation that also doesn’t get mentioned enough, and that’s appearance.

Mouth Breathing Can Change Your Child’s Appearance

An Open Mouth Has Real Effects On Appearance

Doctors and dentists have known for a long time that an open mouth can have a serious effect on the way we look. The term “adenoid face” has been in common use for well over a hundred years to describe a particular type of facial appearance.

Usually this is seen as a long and narrow face with a high arched palate and associated dental crowding.

The reason this happens is that children who suffer from chronic nasal congestion (from enlarged adenoids, tonsils, allergies, colds etc.) breathe through the mouth, which in turns leads to the development of a tongue thrust swallowing pattern and a low-resting tongue.

The Bottom Line About Children Who Have An Open Mouth

What it comes down to is this: If a child grows up with an open mouth, their facial features will look different than a child who grows up with their mouth closed. It’s that simple.

All parents should know that an open mouth or mouth breathing are abnormal in a child, and will affect their dental and facial growth and development.
