Not only does it keep up your spouse at night with the snoring, but when you don’t get the correct sleep and you wake up throughout the night, not knowing it, with sleep apnea, it really takes away from your day. Being tired, you know, not having the right energy to get through the day, always just feeling like, “When is this day gonna end?” Right? So to get a good night’s sleep is very important for overall health. There’s lots of studies on this. If you don’t know about it already, you should do some research. However, I know if you’ve been diagnosed with sleep apnea and haven’t had treatment, here at North Oaks Dental, we can make an appliance that can help you sleep better at night and get that treatment you need.
Rest Better With Our Sleep Apnea Treatment
Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when your airway becomes repeatedly blocked while you sleep. As your tongue and soft tissues in the back of your throat relax, they restrict your air passages. This causes you to wake up momentarily and take in more oxygen. Left untreated, this serious health condition can contribute to heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, high blood pressure, and depression.
Our team has helped many patients address their sleep apnea problems using an oral appliance that’s custom designed for you. The device fits comfortably in your mouth, exerting gentle pressure to move your lower jaw slightly forward. This will keep your airway open and ensure you get a restful night of sleep. This non-invasive treatment will reduce or eliminate noisy snoring that keeps others awake.
Here are some reasons to trust us with your treatment:
- We facilitate sleep testing in coordination with a sleep doctor through a virtual consultation.
- Dr. Hotait has completed a mini-residency in dental sleep medicine at Tufts University and is a Diplomate of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine.
- Traditional medical insurance is accepted for your sleep apnea treatment.
