Sleep Apnea
It may not just be your sleeping position if you constantly feel tired, even after a whole night’s sleep. If your partner or loved one consistently nudges you awake for loud snoring, these may be signs of sleep apnea, which affects your breathing during sleep.
The knowledgeable team at Arizona Advanced Dental of Mesa, AZ, is proud to serve the local community with high-grade services, including treating your sleep apnea so you and your partner can finally get a peaceful night’s rest.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Sleep apnea has various severity levels, but it is characterized by the inability to breathe properly during sleep. Pauses can last a few seconds to even a full minute and happen often during the night.
This reduces your quality of sleep and, in some cases, can be extremely dangerous to your health.
Here are some of the best ways that we treat sleep apnea:
- Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP): You may have heard of this before. This machine uses a mask to deliver pressurized air to keep your airway open at night so you can breathe easily.
- Oral Appliance Therapy: This is a custom-made mouthpiece that helps keep your airway open during sleep. This is a comfortable and non-invasive option for mild to moderate sleep apnea.
- Surgery (in some cases): If your sleep apnea is severe and your breathing is fully obstructed, we can look into surgical options that will remove the tissue blocking your airway.
