The Silent Sleep Thief
How Sleep Apnea Wrecks Your Teeth and Health
In this must-hear episode of The Wonder Tooth Podcast, Dr. Radwa Saad is joined by Dr. Mary DeCicco, a leading expert in dental sleep medicine, to uncover the surprising connection between sleep apnea and your oral health. From cracked teeth, TMJ pain, and dry mouth, to nighttime grinding (bruxism)—your teeth might be sounding the alarm about a sleep disorder you didn’t know you had.
Learn how dentists can be your first line of defense in detecting sleep apnea and how innovative oral appliances are helping patients sleep better and smile brighter—without a CPAP.
If you snore, wake up tired, or have unexplained dental issues, this episode is for you.
