Impact of Untreated Airway Issues in Children
Untreated airway issues in children can lead to increased risk of learning and behavioral concerns due to disturbed sleep patterns. Mouth breathing during early years can affect facial and jaw development, potentially leading to high narrow palates and receded jaws, posing a risk for disturbed breathing into adulthood. Addressing these issues early can prevent long-term consequences like depression, anxiety, and chronic health conditions.
