Breathing is in the News Again!

“Take a deep breath: it’s now prescribed by the NHS” – That was the headline of an article in the Daily Telegraph, 22 November 2021 which was written by Gavin Newsham. A further caption was “Most people are simply not aware they’re breathing poorly – and how that may affect their health.”
This article also refers to James Nestor’s excellent book: Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art and goes on to say – “Nestor says many modern ailments can be blamed on bad breathing, which in turn is largely a result of how humans have evolved to have smaller mouths, thus smaller airways.“
Surely it is time that the role of dentofacial orthopaedics/orthotropics is given proper recognition and included in the undergraduate dental training programme.
