Nose physiology

Those children are at higher risk of:

1. Upper respiratory illnesses and diseases:

The babies immune system is immature and air pathogens enter the body through the mouth and spread fast, which lead to different infections.

2. Having less saliva, effecting:

Swallowing and tasting the food.

Washing away food and plaque from the teeth.

Neutralizing acids that harming tooth enamel.

Increasing gum diseases and tooth decay.
