If you do not get proper sleep, you lose interest in doing regular activities like brushing and flossing. This improper sleep cycle will have a direct effect on your periodontal (Gums and Bones) health. It is observed that young adults with poor oral hygiene share a history of sleep disorders or stress. So, it is necessary to know more about its bad effects on our oral health. There is no doubt that sound sleep will surely reduce some dental problems like bad breath, mouth ulcers and progression of gums issues. However, we must know that bruxism (grinding of teeth), mouth breathing, TMJ (temporomandibular joint) problems are also associated with sleep disorders. 

Generally, sleep apnea is diagnosed by a medical doctor. However, the dentist will help you to alleviate dental symptoms with treatments such as behavior modification including improving sleep quality, treatments for dry mouth. Doctors might also ask you to wear night guard to resolve grinding or clenching of teeth.

Consulting a dentist is crucial to determine the most suitable approach for addressing the issue based on individual needs and the underlying causes.
