SLEEPING WITH THE MOUTH OPEN CAN CAUSE DISTURBANCES IN THE STRUCTURE OF THE JAW AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF TEETH

An Otolaryngologist in Antalya Turkey memorial hospital, who says that complaints of sleeping with an open mouth and snoring in children may be caused by the growth of the nasal flesh and tonsils, Prof. Dr. noted that this condition can cause disturbances in the structure of the jaw and the development of teeth.

Ear, Nose And Throat Specialist Prof. Dr. warned the families about the diseases that cause snoring and sleeping with open mouth. noted that complaints of sleeping with mouth open and snoring in children can occur occasionally, especially during upper respiratory tract infections and allergy attacks.

We often encounter complaints of sleeping with our mouths open and snoring in childhood. The most important reason for the appearance of these complaints is the growth of the nasal and tonsils, which can be more common, especially in children aged 3-7 years. Both cases can be separate, as well as in many cases together. If children have snoring, it should be taken into account by their parents that they can not breathe comfortably while sleeping, and it should be remembered that it can have significant consequences on health.

Sleeping with the mouth open in children can cause disturbances in the structure of the jaw and the development of teeth. In addition, in people with oral breathing, the blood oxygen level is about 20 percent lower than normal. While this condition can cause important health problems such as heart growth, it can also negatively affect many areas such as rapid fatigue, learning-perception difficulties, school failures, toilet habits. In addition, some children with nasal flesh growth may also be accompanied by the formation of fluid in the middle ear. This condition can cause hearing loss in children. If the growth of the nasal flesh or tonsils causes mouth breathing in children, they should definitely be treated. Otherwise, it may cause a number of problems that cannot be repaired,” he said.

THE ONLY TREATMENT FOR NASAL FLESH IS SURGERY

In addition to symptoms such as snoring and sleeping with your mouth open, Prof. October that the size of the nasal flesh may also have different symptoms. Dr. “If the flesh of the nose is large, the breath taken from the mouth can affect the development of the upper and lower jaw. The child’s teeth begin to change position, and an image may begin to form that can be called a “nasal flesh face”. If your child has bruises under the eyes, their mouth is open, has a sleepy appearance, the lower jaw is slanted to the back, the upper jaw looks like it is in front, you may suspect nasal flesh growth.

If timely intervention is not taken, these changes in your child’s face may become permanent, but with timely and appropriate treatment, the changes may disappear. The only treatment for nasal flesh is surgery. This operation is performed under general anesthesia. By entering it through the mouth, the nasal flesh is reached, and the nasal flesh is cleaned with a number of surgical instruments. If there is also a fluid formation in the middle ear, during the same session, apparatus called a ventilation tube is placed in the patient’s ears. The patient begins to eat 4 hours after the operation. He can be discharged in the evening of the same day and return to his normal life a few days later. Thanks to this operation, the patient starts to sleep comfortably and his hearing improves,” he said.
