Hello,

It is called mouth breathing and occurs in a large number of children. It needs to be addressed to prevent teeth from decay and oral diseases.

You need to show him to pedodontist first who will make an appliance oral screen for him to control habit. He may also be evaluated for any abnormality in nose and tonsils.

There is nothing to worry just take him to pedodontist first. He will address it properly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
