The Surprising Cause of Cavities You Didn't Know About! | The Breathwork Routine That Helped Break

For people that don't know this, the number one cause of cavities is actually mouth breathing. So these children that are thumb suckers, their placement of the thumb actually pushes their upper palate upwards, creating us even smaller airway. So now they have a narrow face, an airway that's been pushed upwards, and then it's difficult for them to breathe through their nose. So they're habitual mouth breathers. If you're a habitual mouth breather, you end up being more prone to anxiety. You have more cavities, you have more gum issues and inflammation in the mouth, and you also are polluting your lungs with every breath that you take. Right. Your nose perfects the air that goes into your lungs versus your mouth is the dirtiest part of your body. It adds, you know, unnecessary bacteria and immune stress to the lung microbiome.
