Sleep Apnea/Snoring Treatment

If you suffer from loud snoring or sleep apnea, you know all too well how it can negatively impact your life overall. Not getting enough sleep or getting poor quality of sleep can make you feel tired, agitated, can make it difficult to concentrate on important tasks, and can even be dangerous – if you feel sleepy while driving.

Why go to the dentist for sleep apnea/snoring treatment?
Visiting the dentist may not be the first thought that comes to mind when you consider getting help with sleep apnea or loud snoring but many times these problems are related to dental issues. Loud snoring can not only be disruptive to your own sleep patterns, but to other members of your family as well. Sleep apnea, on the other hand, is a much more serious condition that occurs when a person stops breathing for a period of time while sleeping. Sleep apnea can be life-threatening.

How do I know if I need sleep apnea/snoring treatment?

• Your loud snoring sometimes wakes you up or your family members
• You fall asleep or feel very sleepy at inappropriate times of the day – such as work, school, social events
