Sleep, breath & your airway
2.3× more periodontitis with sleep apneaYour airway, your breathing, and your gums form one system. How you breathe at night shapes how you heal, focus, and feel — and your mouth sits right at the center of it.
Your airway, your breathing, and your gums form one system. How you breathe at night shapes how you heal, focus, and feel — and your mouth sits right at the center of it.
A 2022 meta-analysis of nearly 31,800 people found those with obstructive sleep apnea were about 2.3× more likely to have periodontitis.
Mouth-breathing and dry mouth feed the bacteria that drive gum disease, while untreated sleep apnea is itself tied to heart disease and fatigue.
Looking at your airway and gums together can mean fresher breath, deeper rest, and more daytime energy.
