Seen mouth taping on your feed? š¤ The trend that's all over TikTok promises better sleep, less snoring, and fresher breath ā just tape your lips
shut at night.
Here's the truth from our West Covina team: taping your mouth doesn't fix why you're breathing through your mouth in the first place. And chronic
mouth breathing dries you out ā which can mean more cavities, irritated gums, and that rough morning breath. š“
The smarter move? Find the real cause (allergies, congestion, a blocked airway) and protect your teeth while you do.
We broke down what the trend actually does to your mouth ā and the safer way to handle it ā on the blog. š Link in bio /
