Why Do Kids Need Braces? Nasal Breathing vs Mouth Breathing
Proper breathing is one of the most important things you can do for your health—yet an estimated 30-40% of the population mouth-breathes! Hear from Dr. Jon Caulfield on the importance of nasal breathing, the long term risks of mouth breathing, and simple at-home tips and tricks for how to train your little ones (or yourself) to breathe more effectively through the nose.
When most people think of going to the dentist, they picture cleanings, cavities, or maybe a gentle reminder to floss more. But at Epic Dentistry, we look at a whole lot more than just your teeth. That’s because your mouth isn’t just about smiling—it’s the gateway to the rest of your body. The way you breathe, sleep, manage stress, even how you hold your posture... it can all show up in your mouth. And often, your dentist might be the first one to spot it.
Dr. Caulfield’s voice is helping shape the conversation on pediatric sleep health in his latest feature in Sleep Review Magazine.
We hear it all the time: "I left my last dentist because I felt like I was constantly being upsold." And we get it. No one wants to feel like they’re being sold to, especially when it comes to their health. At Epic, our goal is never to "sell" you on anything. Our job is to help you understand what’s going on in your mouth, how it connects to your overall health, and what your options are. From there, you decide what’s right for you.
