Airway assessment in Sydney - Frequently Asked Questions

  • In humans and other mammals, the process of breathing is primarily controlled by the respiratory center in the brain. This center sends nerve signals to the diaphragm and intercostal muscles, which control the movement of air into and out of the lungs. The respiratory center is also responsible for maintaining a balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood.

  • There are many benefits to having an airway assessment. By understanding how your respiratory system works, you can learn how to optimize your breathing for better health and performance. Some of these benefits include:

    • Improved respiratory function.

    • Greater overall health and well-being.

    • Increased energy levels.

    • Improved quality of life.

    At Enlighten Dental, we are committed to helping our patients achieve their best possible health.

  • Maintaining optimum oxygen levels is important because it helps to improve our overall health and well-being. Unobstructed breathing helps to increase the amount of oxygen carried in our blood, which can help to improve our cardiovascular health. It also helps to reduce stress levels and promote sound sleep and relaxation. Additionally, optimal breathing can help to prevent or relieve various respiratory conditions.
