In addition, mouth breathing dries out the airways, increases the risk of tooth decay, and can even worsen snoring and sleep apnea.
How can you return to nasal breathing?
Pay attention to your breathing during rest periods.
Keep your nose clear: Treat allergies or chronic congestion.
Practice with closed lips to learn mouth breathing.
Myofunctional therapy or breathing exercises can help restore proper tongue position and breathing.
