Our teeth are what we eat. Food can greatly impact our oral health, while some foods can be beneficial and help us fight plaque buildup, others can cause tooth decay and harm our enamel.
Remember that no matter what you eat is important to follow a good oral health routine!

There are two main types of this disorder:
1) Central sleep apnea occurs when the brain fails to send necessary signals to the breathing muscles.
2) Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when air cannot flow through the nose or mouth even though the body is still trying to breathe.
Obstructive sleep apnea is far more prevalent and easily treatable by the dentist.
