Careful: Some people with sleep apnea may have dry mouth which often leads to significant decay. Make sure you drink plenty of water and talk to your dentist about constructing soft easy to wear trays that you can fill with Fluoride or mi paste to protect your remaining tooth structure from rampant decay. With extensive dentistry you should see your dentist- 4 or more times per year, .

Should not be a: Problem. If you find it is ask to try nasal pillows. They work great unless you are a mouth breather.
