is it true that when u have a blocked nose and breathe through ur mouth ur gums !

not in a short period of time but constant mouth breathers have gum problems because the air comes into the mouth directly and dries the gums which become prone to infection.
our saliva has antibacterial qualities and keeps the gums moist all the time.

Not being able to breath freely through the nose and therefore breathing throught the mouth can cause an overly dry issues with the teeth and oral tissues. Over drying can cause irritation, infection and reduced protection again's those issues. If the inability to breath through you nose is an ongoing issue you need to see an ENT Dr. (Ear, Nose & Throat) to find out what exactly is going on. If you have a sinus infection it can become a "very serious" issue. Read my article below: Goodluck and I wish you well.

Triangle of Death

Did you know that you have the Triangle of Death? Few people have ever heard the term or know that it is a real description of a real area......and YOU have it.

Draw an imaginary line from the outside of one eye across your forehead to the outside of the other eye....Now draw an imaginary line from the outside of the eyes down to the corners of the mouth until they meet in the center of your chin.....You have just drawn the Triangle of Death.

That area is so named because within that area lies structures that are prone to infection. The areas are the mouth (teeth), the nose (sinuses) and the eyes. All of which are known to become extremely infected for various reason...All of those structures lie very close to the brain and an infection from those areas can get dumped directly into the blood stream or work it's way up to the brain. Infection in the blood stream can also be fatal if you happen to be someone with a cardiac (heart) problem....Because of that issue alone blood producing procedures should never be performed in the mouth, such as extractions or root canals, without the patient first having been on a schedule of antibiotics prior to the procedures.

Infection from bad teeth have been documented to have been released into the blood stream and went directly to the heart causing death....That same scenario could take place byway of a serious infection within the boundaries of the Triangle of Death. Infection within the Triangle of Death can be fatal if untreated thus preventing it from reaching the brain, heart or other vital organs.
