Treat Sleep Apnea and Snoring
Don't Let Poor Sleeping Habits Harm Your Day
If you snore or your breathing is constantly interrupted when you sleep, you should take the issue seriously. Your brain, as well as the rest of the body, might not be getting enough oxygen that is required to function optimally. Let Dr. Joel Lane Smith DDS check you for sleep apnea and make any recommendations that may help.
Instead of using air pressure, you can treat your Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) with dental devises that hold your jaw forward, keeping your airway open. Oral appliances have been approved by the FDA to treat mild to moderate diagnosed OSA. The oral appliance is a customized mouthguard that hold the jaw in a proper position during sleep. This in turn keeps soft tissue from collapsing and blocking airflow. The oral appliance is known to eliminate both snoring and OSA in many cases. Dr. Smith is a sufferer of OSA himself and understands your conditions personally. The diagnosis of OSA can only be made by a sleep physician.
Symptoms and conditions associated with sleep apnea include:
• Snoring
