👅 5 Self-Assessment Tips for Tongue & Swallowing Function
Your tongue posture, breathing, and swallowing habits play a major role in sleep, speech, airway health, and facial development.

Use these 5 quick checks to learn more about how your body is functioning:

1️⃣ Can you swallow with your lips apart like you're smiling?
Does water spill out?

2️⃣ Breathe in and out through your nose.
Where does your tongue rest?

3️⃣ When you wake up, is your tongue on the roof of your mouth?
Are your lips closed?

4️⃣ When you swallow, do your facial muscles move?
Do you nod your head when you swallow?

5️⃣ Can you lift your tongue to the roof of your mouth without closing your jaw much?

💡 If any of these are difficult, it could be a sign of a myofunctional imbalance. We can help.

👂💨 Mouth Breathing & Ear Infections — What’s the Connection?

If your child deals with recurring ear infections, it might be time to look beyond antibiotics.
Did you know the way your child breathes can affect how their ears drain and develop?

When the tongue rests low (as it does with mouth breathing), it can disrupt the muscles responsible for Eustachian tube drainage — leading to recurring ear infections. 😮‍💨

Proper tongue posture and nasal breathing support healthy development, fewer infections, and better sleep. 🌿

At Gorman Health & Wellness, we help parents uncover the root causes behind breathing, sleep, and developmental issues — because growing kids deserve to thrive. 💚

- Coordinated care when needed from dentists, sleep specialists, or ENT

Your airway plays a vital role in your overall health — and your dentist can often see the first signs of problems there.

When the airway is restricted or the tongue rests low, it can cause 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝘀𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗼𝗼𝗿-𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗽.

These patterns can affect jaw growth, posture, and how your body restores itself at night.

Airway-focused dentistry looks for these early signs — because 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗽, 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴-𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀.

A new review of 100,000 children (ages 3–7) with sleep-disordered breathing shows it’s rarely caused by one thing alone.

5 Ways Traditional Dentistry Misses the Mark ✨🦷

At Gorman Health & Wellness, we go beyond surface-level dental care by addressing the root causes of oral health challenges. Here are 5 key ways traditional dentistry often falls short:

1️⃣ Mouth Breathing – Fails to recognize how mouth breathing contributes to tooth decay.
2️⃣ Fluoride Dependence – Overstates fluoride as the only answer to preventing cavities.
3️⃣ Lifestyle Connections – Not enough focus on diet, nutrition, sleep, and habits affecting oral health.
4️⃣ Overemphasis on Brushing – Oral hygiene is essential, but it’s not the only factor in preventing gum disease.
5️⃣ Sleep Disordered Breathing – Misses screening for airway issues that impact both oral and overall health.

At Gorman Health & Wellness, we focus on functional oral health—a whole-body approach that helps you breathe better, sleep better, and live healthier. 💚

👅 Fun Fact for Your Week! 👅

Did you know your tongue has between 2,000 and 4,000 taste buds?
And each tiny taste bud holds 50–100 taste receptor cells—which means every bite you take is a flavor explosion waiting to happen! 🍬🍋🍫

No wonder we can enjoy such a delicious variety of tastes. What’s your favorite flavor?

Did you know your oxygen levels naturally dip while you sleep?

Even small drops can disrupt deep sleep, raise blood pressure, and affect mood and focus. A home sleep test can show if airway collapse is happening — and sometimes, a custom oral device can help keep your airway open.

Better sleep starts with understanding your breathing. 😴💚
