Mouth Breathing: Perspectives from Dentistry, Physical Therapy, and Related Disciplines

Description Additional Information Perspectives from Dentistry, Physical Therapy, and Related Disciplines Mouth breathing is a common disorder with multiple implications—including the development of the dental arches, occlusion, posture, sleep, and quality of life. This workshop offers dentists additional insights, led by physical therapists, into the mechanisms of mouth breathing and the role of physical therapy in its management. Understand the mechanisms, causes, and consequences of mouth breathing on oral and general health Identify clinical signs suggestive of mouth breathing in daily practice Understand the role and contributions of physical therapy (myofunctional rehabilitation, posture, breathing) in patient care. Develop a coordinated approach with other disciplines to improve the patient’s care pathway. Know when and why to refer a patient to a specialist in this context. An interdisciplinary perspective—understanding the contributions of physical therapy (myofunctional rehabilitation, posture, breathing) to better collaborate with physical therapists in the care of your patients.
