Sleep apnea is a common disorder, one that many people associate with irritating snoring. However, this condition is more than just nighttime noise. Those with sleep apnea experience an obstruction of air, which can lead to a number of symptoms. From shortness of breath to chronic fatigue, it’s a problem that typically requires (relatively) immediate treatment.
Dentists work with the muscles in the mouth and throat on a regular basis, so they understand how air can become constricted at night and what it takes to restore the breath. There are two major types of sleep apnea, but the most common one is OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea).
OSA can be brought on by anything from smoking to obesity. However, some forms of apnea are caused by spinal or brain disorders that affect how the brain signals the body to breathe. Our dentists can work with patients and help them find solutions that integrate with their individual lifestyle.
