It is said that persons with mouth-breathing has weaker strength to close his lips compared to a normal person.

Saliva has the general antiseptic, cleansing and moisturizing functions which is beyond what we thought. However, with mouth-breathing, the saliva in the mouth becomes dried and the saliva cannot perform its function fully. As a result, persons who have mouth-breathing are likely to have cavity in between teeth, surface of back tooth for biting as well as the neck of the teeth. The front teeth is seen with light brown colour.

Through mouth-breathing, the direct and dry cool air will result in inflammations in the oral membrane and throat. If the dryness in the mouth continues, the saliva cannot achieve its function, it not only causes gum inflammation, but also easily leads to mouth ulcer and cavity.

The lungs are a primary control of our energy level. They extract oxygen from the air we breathe primarily on the exhale. Because the nostrils are smaller then the mouth, air exhaled through the nose creates back pressure when one exhales. It slows the air escape so the lungs have more time to extract oxygen from them. When there is proper oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange, the blood will maintain a balanced pH.

Old fillings can crack, or cause your teeth to crack because with time they get new decay (cavities) underneath the old fillings.

Dry cool air will directly contact the throat during mouth-breathing causing inflammation of throat membrane and tylosis, leading to narrowing of upper respiratory tract. At the same time, the upper respiratory tract will be closed causing anaerosis to occur as base of the tongue easily subsides towards the throat when mouth is opened.
