Patients who have difficulty breathing through their nose are often very uncomfortable at the dentist. Because they are forced to breathe through their mouth, they have problems with gagging, choking, claustrophobia, impressions, cotton rolls, rubber dams, water spray, retraction etc. For many reasons beyond the scope of this post, it is important to be able to breathe through the nose, and an ENT referral is a good idea to help these patients. However, a simple solution at every dental visit for a mouth breather is Breathe Right Strips. Breathe Right Strips are like spring loaded Band Aids that are applied across the bridge of the nose. Once they are stuck on, they hold the nostrils open wider, allowing air to flow more freely through the nose. Professional athletes are often seen on the playing field wearing Breathe Right Strips to help them with maximum air exchange. Others with allergies, deviated septums, sinus problems or snorers use Breathe Right Strips every night for sleep. Try Breathe Right Strips for your next dental appointment if you are a mouth breather. You may even want to wear them every night for a better night's sleep.
