Mask Mouth- What is it? It became a common phrase used referring to the rise of dental problems due to consistent mask wearing. It is an unofficial diagnosis and has created controversy and habit change. Have you noticed any effects on wearing masks consistently? Wearing masks causes you to breathe through your mouth which could affect your body a lot. As a result, we are drinking less throughout the day and are pinching the mask around our nose which causes open mouth breathing. What is the effect of mouth breathing? In this episode, we will be talking more about the effect of wearing masks and mouth breathing. Key Takeaways: -Even though we can breathe through our mouths… we should Not. -Breathing through your nose keeps air into your lungs longer than breathing through your mouth. -Cold air going into the lungs from mouth breathing can cause your lungs to close. -Mouth breathing can be a habit, or it can be a sign there is a bigger problem.
