Sleep apnea is a serious condition that disrupts breathing during sleep, leading to fragmented rest and potential long-term health risks such as high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Understanding the different types of sleep apnea—obstructive, central, and complex—is crucial for effective management. Dental treatments offer non-invasive solutions like custom-fitted oral appliances that keep the airway open during sleep, providing a comfortable alternative to traditional CPAP machines. By recognizing symptoms early and seeking professional help, individuals can enhance their overall well-being and quality of life through personalized dental care.
