WHAT IS SLEEP APNEA?

In brief, sleep apnea is a condition where breathing starts and stops irregularly while a person is sleeping. It can be very difficult to focus at school or work the morning after a night of struggling with sleep apnea. Your overall quality of life will dramatically improve when you treat this trying condition.

DO I HAVE SLEEP APNEA?

Many people experience sleep apnea without even being aware of it. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it may be a good idea to come and speak with our dentists about the possibility of sleep apnea:

Heavy snoring
Difficulty focusing or staying awake in the morning, even after hours of sleep
Regularly waking up with headaches, a dry mouth, or a sore throat
Frequently waking up abruptly in the night, especially if this is accompanied by gasping or choking

These are common signs of sleep apnea. We can direct you to professionals for an accurate diagnosis, so you can get the answers you need.
