More than 18 million Americans are facing a silent battle against sleep breathing disorders (SBD), like sleep apnea, where their dreams aren’t interrupted by nightmares, but rather by an invisible barrier. As a crucial member of the patient’s care team, dental professionals hold the potential to identify, motivate, and inform patients about this covert sleep disturber.
