Mouth taping is not for everyone and is not needed. If you can breathe through your nose 24/7 It has become very popular, but a lot of people wonder why anyone would want to do it, or is it even safe? Today we're going to talk more about mouth taping, how to do it, and why you should use it. I use it myself and for my patients and myofunctional therapy, and it has been a game-changer for my sleeping and how I feel. It's a great way to help address oral myofunctional issues related to several conditions.
You should not try mouth taping if you cannot breathe through your nose for at least three minutes without mouth breathing. Mouth taping is not for everyone and it's just really important. If you can't breathe through your nose, you need to see your doctor or an EMT to find out why you can't breathe through your nose unless you've already done all the necessary things. It's crucial to assess for mouth breathing and sleep issues in your children and adult patients to prevent health issues from occurring. If you notice mouth breathing or disrupted sleep signs, talk to a healthcare provider. Reach out to me. If I can't help you, I will find someone who can.
