What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a very serious sleep disorder that impacts one’s ability to breathe appropriately. There are three types of sleep apnea: obstructive, central, and mixed. Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common and occurs due to low muscle tone in the throat. Central sleep apnea occurs when the brain stops sending signals to respiratory muscles. And, mixed is when both throat muscle and brain functions inhibit one’s ability to breathe properly. Dentists can help treat sleep apnea, and it’s important to receive a consultation to better understand if you’re currently experiencing sleep apnea.
