Although sleep apnea is a general health condition it is often initially identified by dentists. In summary:
– Sleep apnea is a debilitating sleep condition during which a person stops breathing temporarily while asleep.
– A dentist may notice the signs and symptoms as people tend to visit the dentist more often than their doctor.

“These signs and symptoms include enamel erosion as a result of dry mouth from snoring, teeth grinding (bruxism), and inflamed gum tissue.”
