Sleep apnea<\/a> occurs when your airway is obstructed during the night, causing you to stop breathing, which sends a signal to your brain to wake you up. This can actually happens multiple and even hundreds of times per night in severe cases. The reason that sleep apnea is so dangerous is that your brain and other vital organs are not receiving the oxygen they need to rejuvenate throughout the night. When you stop breathing it also puts you at a higher risk for heart failure.<\/p>\nWhat are the Symptoms of Sleep Apnea?<\/h3>\n
Loud snoring that occurs because the airway is obstructed often identifies sleep apnea. You may not realize you\u2019re snoring, but your bed partner will surely inform you. The snoring is usually loud enough to keep them from sleeping and it\u2019s excessive.<\/p>\n
You may wake up frequently with headaches or a dry mouth, and have trouble concentrating throughout the day. Sleep apnea causes chronic fatigue, which can affect your relationships and your performance at work. You may feel very tired in the morning even though you\u2019ve had a full night of sleep.<\/p>\n
How is Sleep Apnea Treated?<\/h3>\n
A continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP machine is the standard recommendation for patients who suffer from sleep apnea. Many patients however find this machine hard to use and wear regularly because it requires wearing a mask while you\u2019re sleeping and the machine tends to be loud at night.<\/p>\n
The good news is that many dental providers are now learning the dangers of sleep apnea and how to help open airways through the use of oral appliances that can be worn at night while you sleep. Oral appliances are custom designed for each patient\u2019s unique needs and they relax muscles, which opens airways for clear breathing at night.<\/p>\n
