Sleep apnea left untreated increases the risk of serious health problems, with snoring one of the symptoms. If you are a loud snorer, you should discuss sleep apnea with your dentist during a check-up or a professional teeth cleaning.Key takeaways:

- You may be recommended a custom-made oral appliance which keeps the airways open when worn overnight.
