UOR 2018 Credits: 2 Course Code: PN59U7 CA #: 02-4527-15297 Mouth breathing triggers a cascade of events, leading to inflamed tonsils, restricted airway, sleep apnea, nasal congestion, long face syndrome, malocclusion, a gummy smile, sleep deprivation, fatigue, and ADHD. Early recognition and intervention of mouth breathing are essential to prevent the compromised growth and development cascade. Clinical dental hygienists can offer valuable oral health coaching that helps convert mouth breathers to nose breathers. Some hygienists may want to further their clinical expertise with oral myology training.
