What Is Sleep Apnea?
More Than Just a Snore, It’s a Serious Health Concern
Sleep apnea is a common but often underdiagnosed sleep disorder where your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during the night. These pauses in breathing can lead to poor sleep quality and serious health risks over time.
There are three main types of sleep apnea, Obstructive, Central and Complex. The most common type is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which occurs when the muscles at the back of your throat relax too much during sleep, blocking your airway.
Sleep apnea can affect anyone, and because it’s often silent, many people don’t realize they have it. If you or a loved one snores, gasps for air at night or feels excessively tired during the day, it’s worth getting evaluated.
How Can Sleep Apnea Affect Your Health?
When left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to a range of serious health complications. Potential health risks include:
- Increased risk of heart disease
- High blood pressure
- Greater chance of stroke
- Chronic fatigue and daytime sleepiness
- Difficulty concentrating or memory problems
- Mood disturbances like irritability or depression
Sleep apnea can also affect your loved ones. Snoring and frequent waking may disrupt your partner’s sleep, impacting their well-being too. Early diagnosis and treatment can make a big difference for both your health and your quality of life.
Signs & Symptoms of Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea often goes undiagnosed, but recognizing the signs is the first step toward getting help. You may have sleep apnea if you or a loved one notice any of the following:
- Loud, persistent snoring
- Pauses in breathing during sleep
- Waking up gasping or choking for air
- Excessive daytime fatigue or drowsiness
- Difficulty concentrating or feeling mentally foggy
- Mood swings, irritability, or low energy
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, don’t ignore them. Talk to a healthcare professional to get a proper diagnosis and explore treatment options that can help you sleep better and protect your long-term health.
Treatment Options for Snoring & Sleep Apnea
Personalized Care for Better Sleep
At Dentistry@1881, we’re committed to helping you achieve restful, uninterrupted sleep. We offer a variety of treatments tailored to your needs, from oral appliances to lifestyle advice.
One of the most common and effective noninvasive treatments we offer at Dentistry@1881 is oral appliance therapy. These custom-made devices are worn while you sleep and work by gently repositioning your jaw and tongue to keep your airway open.
By preventing airway collapse during sleep, oral appliances can significantly reduce snoring and alleviate the symptoms of sleep apnea.
In some cases, making simple lifestyle changes can significantly reduce the severity of sleep apnea symptoms.
Your personalized plan may include:
- Weight management support to reduce pressure on the airway
- Sleep position adjustments, such as sleeping on your side instead of your back
- Limiting alcohol intake before bedtime, which can relax throat muscles and worsen symptoms
- Quitting smoking, which can inflame and narrow the airway
