Did you know that snoring is not actually a sign of good sleep? Many people think that these loud snoozes mean you have reached a point of deep rest. In reality, these loud breathing sounds made when you catch some shut eye could be a sign of a serious sleep disorder called obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This disorder causes patients to periodically stop breathing at night, which can be harmful for your physical, mental, and oral health. Your team at Elm Creek Dental in Maple Grove, MN, may be able to help diagnose the issue and find a helpful treatment.
