Are you
getting a good
night’s rest?
A
re you or a loved one struggling with snoring, sleeplessness
or your CPAP? Too often individuals awake in the morning
unrested and too often individuals struggle to understand
why. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) could be the problem. The
condition causes repeated breathing interruptions throughout the
night; Gasping for breath causes people to wake up repeatedly, which
diminishes sleep quality and causes fatigue. Obstructive Sleep Apnea
is a life-threatening disorder that aff ects an estimated 18+ million
American adults. If left untreated can contribute to several problems
such as; increased risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, high blood
pressure, poor memory, headaches/migraines, ADHD in children, and
even death.
Less than 10% of Americans with Obstructive Sleep Apnea have
been diagnosed and what’s even more alarming is that less than 25%
of the individuals diagnosed have been treated successfully. The
low success rate can stem from a number of reasons, such as, poor
patient’s compliance to use a CPAP, patients not knowing about other
treatment options, or their CPAP not working or set properly.
The South Hills Dental Arts team has extensive training in not
only treating Sleep Apnea but minimizing the side eff ects and
oral problems that can be created from sleep apnea. As dental
professionals we are often able to identify sleep disorders earliest, as a
fi rst sign of sleep apnea can be teeth grinding.
If you have been treated unsuccessfully with a CPAP machine or
if you or a loved one suff er from snoring problems and would like
to learn about alternative Sleep Apnea treatments call us or visit
