INDUSTRY INSIGHT DENTAL HEALTH SPONSORED CONTENT 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 affects 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 effects and oral problems that can be created from sleep apnea. As dental professionals we are often able to identify sleep disorders earliest, as a first sign of sleep apnea can be teeth grinding.
