Proper maintenance of your oral appliance for sleep apnea is crucial for ensuring its safety and efficacy. The team at Sierra Gate Family Dental recommends the following:
Cleaning your oral appliance daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and mild soap or toothpaste
Storing it properly in a clean, dry container and away from direct sunlight or heat
Checking your oral appliance regularly for signs of wear or damage, such as cracks or tears
Contacting our Roseville, CA office if you experience discomfort or your appliance feels loose, and don’t try to adjust the appliance yourself
Keeping up with regular dental appointments
