Obstructive sleep apnea is a serious medical problem that has been associated
with cardiac problems, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, ED,
gastro-esophageal reflux disease, and numerous other medical problems. Neither
snoring nor sleep apnea should be taken lightly, as your health is at stake.
Recent research is beginning to explore the complex interrelationships between
sleep apnea and these other medical problems. Management by a dentist should
always involve interaction with your family physician, cardiologist,
