Sleep Apnea
If you or someone in your household suffers from sleep apnea, it may seem like just a nuisance causing loud snoring and restless sleep. However, sleep apnea is actually a serious medical condition that can have negative effects on your overall health. At Azalea Dental, we offer treatment options for sleep apnea to help improve sleep quality and protect your overall health.
What is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing or instances of shallow or infrequent breathing during sleep. These episodes can last for a few seconds to several minutes and often occur multiple times throughout the night. This interruption of regular breathing can lead to poor sleep quality and excessive daytime sleepiness. Without treatment, sleep apnea can increase the risk of health complications such as high blood pressure and heart disease. Therefore, it is essential for individuals experiencing sleep apnea symptoms to discuss treatment options with their healthcare provider.
Nightguards for Sleep Apnea
At Azalea Dental, we offer custom nightguards as a solution to sleep apnea. These comfortable guards fit over your teeth and gently position your jaw to keep airways open while you sleep. Not only can they alleviate the symptoms of sleep apnea, but they can also reduce tooth grinding or clenching and even prevent future damage to your teeth. Take control of your night’s rest with a custom nightguard from Azalea Dental.
Sleep apnea can not only drastically disrupt your sleep, but it also poses serious health risks such as high blood pressure and heart disease. Don’t ignore it any longer – our caring team will take the time to understand your needs and offer the best treatment plan for you.
