The Power of Nasal Breathing: How It Improves Oral & Overall Health

Breathing is automatic—but how you breathe plays a critical role in oral health, sleep quality, inflammation, and whole-body regulation. Chronic mouth breathing is linked to dry mouth, cavities, gum disease, disrupted sleep, and reduced nitric oxide production, while nasal breathing supports a balanced oral microbiome, efficient oxygen delivery, and nervous system regulation. Understanding the impact of nasal breathing is a foundational step toward improving both oral and overall health.
