What is sleep disordered breathing?

Sleep disordered breathing is a medical condition that causes you to stop breathing momentarily while you’re sleeping. Generally, this is caused by an obstruction of some sort that is blocking your airway. This can happen hundreds of times throughout the night. When you stop breathing, you’ll often even momentarily wake up without even knowing.

Unlike many dental afflictions, sleep disordered breathing can fester for years without you having any idea that there is even a problem. While this may just seem like a minor inconvenience, it can actually be quite dangerous.

Some common side effects of sleep apnea include:

Sleep loss, which results in loss of energy and focus
High blood pressure
Heart disease and an increased likelihood of stroke
Weight gain
