How Do I know if I Have Sleep Apnea?

Treatment for sleep apnea / snoring in Woodland Hills is simple, but what is it?

Many people live with sleep apnea and don’t even know it. Sleep apnea is a sleeping disorder and can cause serious health problems and even death. There are several symptoms that signify this sleeping disorder, including loud and chronic snoring, choking, snorting or gasping for air while sleeping, long pauses in breathing, daytime sleepiness, morning headaches, dry mouth and shortness of breath. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you may have sleep apnea and could be in serious need of help. Call our Woodland Hills office at (818) 225-0046 to schedule a consultation or request an appointment online. Children that experience some or all of these side effects could be suffering from a similar sleep disordered breathing problem that can be directly linked to general health risks, poor emotional behavior, and even struggles with academic performances. We offer a Healthy Start program for our younger patients that can open the airways, correct the jaw and tongue positioning, and even correctly align incoming adult teeth. The appliance is comfortable and beneficial for kids, allowing for the opportunity to correct issues related to sleep apnea and prevent problems at a much earlier point in development.

Here Are Some Risk Factors for Sleep Apnea

Here are some common characteristics of people who experience Sleep Apnea

"My Wife Says Thank You!"

"I was having a snoring issue. I never considered a CPAP. A CPAP wasn’t an option for me. I did not want to sleep with something on my face. So I came to Complete Health Dentistry and got a mouth guard with a depressant that would hold my tongue down. He said your airways are closing in the middle of the night which is causing you to have a sleep problem and a snoring problem. The mouth guard was the only way to go for me. And it really does work!"

What Can I Expect from Treatment for Sleep Apnea?

We can help you treat your Sleep Apnea / Snoring in Woodland Hills with the utmost skill and service quality

Twenty million Americans suffer with sleep apnea and the effects of this condition are severe. If you’re experiencing this particular sleeping disorder, it can have an affect on your concentration, decrease your libido, plague you with chronic fatigue, and result in depression. The long-term effects include increased risk of heart disease, stroke and chest pain. Treating it comes down to two simple options; the C-PAP machine or a dental appliance. Both are effective with their advantages and disadvantages as that relates to the patient’s condition. The C-PAP machine pushes oxygen into your system at night, while you sleep. Although very effective, over 60% of C-PAP patients stop using their machines because they are bulky and can, quite frankly, interfere with your relationships. The dental appliance is a custom made insert, which you wear while you sleep, that opens the airway and allows you to breath easier. The appliance is a great option for those with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. At Complete Health Dentistry, will help you make the best decision based on your circumstances and condition.

"Can’t Sleep? Dry Throat? Daytime Sleepiness?"

These are symptoms, but here are some causes…Sleep Apnea / Snoring experts at Complete Health Dentistry can help

"I can educate you on the causes of sleep apnea. It occurs when you’re not able to get enough oxygen into your blood stream while sleeping. Anyone of any age group or demographic can be diagnosed with sleep apnea, but risk factors for the sleep disorder include being overweight, male, related to someone who has sleep apnea, age 65 or older and/or a smoker. Sleep apnea is caused by an obstructed airway, which can directly result in snoring. However, snoring is not a sure sign that you have the disorder. If you think you are at risk of having sleep apnea, call our office today and let us get you on the fast track to relief!"
