Protect Your Health With Sleep Apnea Treatment

Obstructive sleep apnea is a serious and debilitating sleep disorder that can significantly affect all aspects of your life. This can result in fatigue and grogginess throughout the day as well as a host of other symptoms. At First-in-Smiles Dentistry in Matthews, we offer sleep apnea treatment as an effective and convenient way to improve your quality of life.

What are the symptoms of sleep apnea?

With OSA, breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. People with OSA can experience snoring,

gasping for air, dry mouth, and insomnia during the night. Upon waking, the patient may feel the effects of a poor night’s sleep, such as headaches, sleepiness, distraction, irritability, depression, and anxiety.

How is sleep apnea treated at First-in-Smiles Dentistry?

We prescribe a custom-made oral appliance that improves airflow and helps relieve sleep apnea symptoms. These oral appliances are designed to fit comfortably in the mouth while keeping the jaw in an optimal position so there is no obstruction in the airways. We also offer advice on lifestyle changes that can help address the underlying causes of sleep apnea, such as excess weight and alcohol consumption.

What are the benefits of sleep apnea treatment?

Sleep apnea treatment can help you feel more alert and energetic during the day while improving your overall health. Treatment with an oral appliance can also reduce snoring and enhance sleep quality, not just for you but also for your sleep partner.

Who should consider sleep apnea treatment?

If you experience any common symptoms of sleep apnea, including snoring, daytime fatigue, and interrupted breathing during the night, it’s essential to seek treatment as soon as possible. Our team at First-in-Smiles Dentistry can provide an assessment and determine the best course of action for your individual needs.
