Breathing Well for Better Health
​Breathing is a vital, involuntary function that we do every moment of every day.
While it’s often overlooked, the way we breathe—particularly breathing through the nose—plays a crucial role in our overall well-being, including oral health.
At Newtown Elite Dental, we understand the importance of proper breathing for both your health and smile.
Our comprehensive treatment approach goes beyond just caring for your teeth.
We focus on improving your quality of life by addressing any issues that may affect your breathing patterns—whether you're an adult or a child.
Dysfunctional breathing, such as chronic mouth breathing, can have significant impacts on both dental health and facial development, which can lead to :
-
Narrow Upper and Lower Jaws :
Mouth breathing can cause the jaws to develop more narrowly, potentially leading to misalignment and other dental concerns.
-
Dental Crowding :
Improper breathing can interfere with the natural spacing of teeth, causing them to become crowded or misaligned.
-
Malocclusions (Misaligned Bites) :
Misalignment of the teeth or jaw due to breathing problems can lead to issues such as overbites, underbites, or crossbites, requiring corrective dental treatments.
One Component of Our Comprehensive Oral Exams
As part of our routine oral exams, we assess your breathing patterns to identify any potential issues that may impact your dental and overall health.
Early detection of these issues allows us to provide timely interventions that can prevent or alleviate dental concerns and promote healthier development.
Early Detection for Better Outcomes
By identifying and addressing breathing issues early on, we can help prevent or alleviate these common dental and developmental problems.
Ensuring that you or your child breathe properly can lead to healthier growth patterns, a more aligned smile, and fewer complications later on.
Our Airway Assessment Proces
At Newtown Elite Dental, we utilize a variety of airway screening tools to assess your breathing patterns and identify any concerns.
This non-invasive process allows us to evaluate whether dysfunctional breathing is impacting your oral health or overall development.
If necessary, we will refer you to the appropriate specialists for further treatment and guidance.
Whether it's receiving orthodontic care, myofunctional therapy, or a referral to an ENT specialist, our goal is to provide you with the right care to enhance both your breathing and dental health.
