Sleep apnea treatment is a serious disorder that is characterized by regular interruptions in breathing during sleep. The most common form of sleep apnea is obstructive sleep apnea, which involves your throat muscles relaxing during sleep and blocking your airway. Over time, untreated sleep apnea can significantly affect your health. Sleep apnea has been shown to be linked to potentially life-threatening conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, depression and more. The symptoms of sleep apnea treatment involve the following:
If you suspect you may be suffering from sleep apnea, we encourage you to visit a sleep physician to confirm your diagnosis. Your physician and our dentist can help you find relief from the symptoms of sleep apnea. There are various options available to you, depending on the severity of your condition. If you have minor symptoms, our dentist may recommend oral appliance therapy. Oral appliance therapy works by keeping your airway open while you sleep.
