It can be possible to prevent sleep apnea. Trying to change sleeping positions, such as sleeping on your side as opposed to on your back, can help.
Stopping smoking and reducing alcohol intake, particularly a few hours before bed, can also help with prevention. Regular exercise and weight loss are also beneficial.
It is also important to take good care of your oral health with a combination of at-home dental care and building a great relationship with your dentist.
We recommend daily healthy habits and regular visits to the dentist. For optimum oral health:
Practice good oral hygiene habits at home including brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing once a day
Book hygiene visits with dental hygienist at least twice each year
Book routine exam and x-rays visits with your dentist once each year
