3 Things Every Parent Should Know About Sleep-Disordered Breathing

April 1, 2025

As a parent, you want your child to be healthy, well-rested, and full of energy. But if they snore, breathe through their mouth, or struggle to sleep soundly, sleep-disordered Breathing (SDB) could be affecting their health. Here are three key things every parent should know:

1. Snoring Isn’t Normal

Frequent, loud snoring may indicate obstructed breathing. Sleep-disordered breathing can lead to low-quality sleep, poor concentration, and even behavioral issues that mimic ADHD. If your child snores regularly, it’s worth having them evaluated with a sleep test.


2. Mouth Breathing Can Affect Development

Children who breathe through their mouths can impact facial growth, dental alignment, and airway development. Early intervention with oral appliance therapy can help guide proper jaw positioning and support healthy breathing patterns.
