Quotes:
“I cannot tell you how many adults we see that, subconsciously, are breathing through their mouth.”
“Nasal breathing, or breathing through the nose, is very, very important.”
“Day mimics night. Whatever it is that we see the children, the kids, the adults do during the day, by way of how are they breathing, you can almost always be assured that they are going to be repeating those patterns at night.”
“If you can hear your child breathing, bring it to the attention of their doctors.”
“The tongue should be resting in the roof of the mouth.”
“The roof of the mouth is also the floor of the nose.”
“These are kids that we sometimes see having more cavities.”
“As parents, bringing it to the attention of health care providers…why is this mouth breathing happening?”
“So much great information we have to share that can help not only kids but adults as well get the quality of sleep that they need so that they can feel better and be the absolute best version of themselves.”
