What is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a sleeping disorder which involves a patient’s airway becoming obstructed. When the airway is obstructed, patients don’t receive enough oxygen to their lungs, brain and other parts of the body. The result can often be life debilitating symptoms that truly take the joy out of life. Symptoms of sleep apnea include:
- Daytime Sleepiness
- Fatigue
- Insomnia
- Loud Snoring
- Mouth Breathing
- Loud Breathing
- Gasping for Breath
- Dry Mouth
- Sore Throat
- Headache
- Weight Gain
- Depression
- Mood Swings
- Irritability
Prior to sleep apnea treatment, it is important to visit a medical professional for a sleep study. A sleep study can help determine whether you suffer from sleep apnea and how bad the condition is if you do. Depending upon the sleep study, different treatment options may be recommended. At Wheatland Dental we require a sleep study before any treatment is provided.
