Yes, generally, dentists do treat sleep apnea/snoring, but it varies from state to state depending on the state's dental scope of practice. The mouth guard, a snore guard, is primarily used for snoring, but can be used for sleep apnea *in some cases*. Depending on your diagnosis, your physician would determine if your CPAP can be replaced by such a guard. *A word of caution*: If a snore guard is used and a physician is not consulted, the guard may stop the snoring but not address the breathing cessation issue which can be life threatening.
