Did you know that snoring is pathological and not normal? Snoring can be an indication of restricted airway. If your child is snoring or has restless sleep it could be due to a number of reasons. Some of the most common are enlarged tonsils and adenoids. Or narrow jaws. Normal breathing should occur through the nose. If there are enlarged tonsils or adenoids it could cause your child to mouth breath and snore. Some children have such narrow jaws that they cannot breath properly leading to snoring and reduced oxygen intake at night. Early diagnosis is key to alleviating snoring symptoms as improper breathing or reduced oxygen level can affect a child’s growth and development. An ENT referral may be necessary or even early Orthodontic intervention to alleviate some of the anatomical barriers that could be leading to reduced air intake.
