A member asked:
Could i use my cpap after a tooth extraction?

Hummmmm: I would be careful if an upper molar was extracted. The air could cause pressure changes in the sinus and cause an opening between the sinus and mouth thriough the socket. Either take a few days off, or very low pressures. Otherwise, CPAP should not be a problem for the remainder of the mouth.

Yes : Since a CPAP machine delivers pressure during inspiration it should not be a problem.
