Why Are Front Teeth Fracturing? The Hidden Link to Sleep Apnea

Front Tooth Fracture and Sleep Apnea: The Hidden Connection | The Wonder Tooth PodcastMost people never imagine that a fractured front tooth could be connected to sleep apnea.

When patients break or chip front teeth, they often assume the cause was simple trauma, biting something hard, or an accident. While trauma certainly plays a role in many cases, there is another hidden factor that many people overlook:

Sleep-disordered breathing and nighttime grinding.
