What are the inferior turbinates?

0

The inferior turbinates are bony-covered structures on the inside of the nose that warm and humidify air as one breathes in and out. They become enlarged due to allergies or environmental exposure to dust and pollens. Many times they need to be trimmed and reduced in size and sometimes outfractured to improve the airflow dynamics through the nose.
