Are you breathing through your nose or your mouth? 👃

It might seem like a small detail, but **how you breathe can have a big impact on your oral health and sleep!**

At Penney Weeks DMD, we believe dentistry is about more than just teeth. Understanding your airway, breathing patterns, and sleep health is an important part of looking at the bigger picture.

✨ **Healthy breathing is part of a healthy smile.**

Our team spent the weekend in New Orleans at the 2026 Annual Session of the American Academy for Oral & Systemic Health (AAOSH)!

It was incredibly inspiring to see how the dental profession continues to grow beyond the traditional view of simply treating teeth and gums. More dental professionals are recognizing the important connection between oral health and whole-body health—including inflammation, the oral microbiome, airway and sleep health, cardiovascular health, metabolic health, pregnancy outcomes, and more.

We were especially encouraged to hear from American Dental Association President Dr. Richard Rosato, pictured with Dr. Weeks, as he joined the conversation about advancing oral-systemic healthcare. It is amazing to see these once-separate areas of dentistry coming together and gaining greater recognition throughout the profession.

We also had the pleasure of learning from Dr. Mark Cannon, a respected leader in oral-systemic health and oral microbiome research—just one week after seeing him at the IAOMT conference!

We returned home inspired, encouraged, and even more committed to looking beyond symptoms and caring for each patient as a whole person. The mouth is not separate from the body, and the future of dentistry is finally reflecting that. 🦷💚
