Studies show mouth breathing is linked to increased cavities, periodontal disease, sleep apnea, and higher stress levels, while nasal breathing offers numerous advantages including improved oxygenation, nitric oxide production, and better sleep. Mouth taping, by encouraging nasal breathing, may alleviate these issues. Dr. G discusses how mouth taping works, its potential benefits (improved sleep, reduced snoring, better athletic performance, reduced anxiety), who should and shouldn't try it, how to choose a safe product, and caution for proper usage.
