What is the relationship between dentistry and sleep apnea?
There are a number of causes that can lead to apnea. Reasons of morphological origin related to the bone structure of the head and jaws can cause the disease. Possible oral and cranial deformities, etc. cause a greater predisposition to this problem.
Partial airway obstruction may also be related to poor oral health. If we observe certain wear on the teeth, as a consequence, for example, of bruxism, we may be generating tension in the jaw that affects other parts of the body.
