This breathing is the most physiological and functional for children and adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mouth breathing can have short and medium term consequences on your children's health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out what to do if your child is a mouth-breather, and what the consequences may be for his or her oral health, including <a href=\"https:\/\/dentiste-enfant.com\/orthodontie-enfant\/\">traitements d&rsquo;orthodontie<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-votre-enfant-respire-par-la-bouche-pourquoi-cela-peut-il-tre-probl-matique\">Your child is a mouth breather, why might this be a problem?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>La respiration buccale n\u2019est pas la plus fonctionnelle pour le corps. En effet, elle ne permet pas d\u2019oxyg\u00e9ner correctement le cerveau et l&rsquo;organisme. Cette mauvaise oxyg\u00e9nation peut avoir des cons\u00e9quences sur le bon d\u00e9veloppement dentaire de l\u2019enfant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>De plus, une malformation possible du palais peut survenir suite \u00e0 une respiration buccale. C&rsquo;est pourquoi des solutions existent en cas de m\u00e2choire trop petite, c&rsquo;est notamment le cas de l&rsquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/dentiste-enfant.com\/activateur-croissance-orthodontie\/\">growth activator<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mouth breathing in toddlers can have different origins, temporary or not. Among the most frequent causes we can mention :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A cold or an allergic episode,<\/li><li>A deviated or obstructed nasal septum,<\/li><li>An enlargement of the tonsils that impedes nasal breathing.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-les-cons-quences-d-une-respiration-buccale\">The consequences of mouth breathing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mouth breathing can cause several problems for the proper development of children. It is therefore important to change this habit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main consequences of mouth breathing are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Sleep apnea,<\/li><li>Coughing and snoring during the night,<\/li><li>Problems on the growth of the face, with a more elongated and narrow face,<\/li><li>Atypical swallowing,<\/li><li>Concentration and behavioral concerns,<\/li><li>Chronic fatigue,<\/li><li>Dark circles,<\/li><li>Low language,<\/li><li>Malformations of the palate.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Oral breathing also has consequences on orthodontic treatments such as <a href=\"https:\/\/dentiste-enfant.com\/orthodontie-interceptive\/\">l&rsquo;orthodontie interceptive<\/a>. Indeed, the poor positioning of the mouth during the night makes the treatments longer, less effective and more unstable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, it is important to correct mouth breathing problems before orthodontic treatment is performed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-traitement-et-pr-vention-de-la-respiration-par-la-bouche-chez-l-enfant\">Treatment and prevention of mouth breathing in children<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-quand-consulter-un-dentiste-si-votre-enfant-respire-par-la-bouche\">When to see a dentist if your child is a mouth-breather?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you notice your child snoring at night or coughing a lot, he or she may have mouth breathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there are traces of saliva on the pillow, this is another clue. If your child has dark circles and always looks tired, this is also due to poor nighttime breathing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>N\u2019h\u00e9sitez pas et consultez un dentiste sp\u00e9cialiste des enfants pour r\u00e9soudre le probl\u00e8me rapidement, qui pourra proposer des solutions avant d&rsquo;envisager des <a href=\"https:\/\/dentiste-enfant.com\/traitement-interception-orthodontique\/\">traitements d&rsquo;interception orthodontique<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-corriger-la-respiration-par-la-bouche-de-votre-enfant\">Correcting your child's mouth breathing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mouth breathing in children can be caused by a variety of factors, some temporary, some not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have noticed your child breathing through his or her mouth for a long time and when he or she is not sick, consult a pediatrician to determine the cause.
