Sleep Apnea and Snoring Solutions at Preston Dental Loft in Cary,
Understanding Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a common yet serious disorder that disrupts your breathing during sleep. It often goes undiagnosed, leading to daytime fatigue, health complications, and a decreased quality of life.
Common Types of Sleep Apnea:
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): The most prevalent type, caused by a blockage of the upper airway.
- Central Sleep Apnea: Occurs when the brain fails to send proper signals to the muscles that control breathing.
- Complex Sleep Apnea Syndrome: A combination of OSA and central sleep apnea.
Symptoms of Sleep Apnea
- Loud, chronic snoring
- Gasping or choking during sleep
- Excessive daytime sleepiness
- Morning headaches
- Irritability or mood swings
- Difficulty concentrating
If you notice these symptoms in yourself or a loved one, it’s essential to seek professional help.
The Link Between Snoring and Sleep Apnea
Snoring is more than just a nuisance; it can be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea. While not everyone who snores has sleep apnea, loud and persistent snoring often indicates airway blockage during sleep.
Our Approach to Diagnosis and Treatment
At Preston Dental Loft, we offer a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating sleep apnea and snoring:
- Initial Consultation: We begin with a detailed assessment of your symptoms and medical history to understand your unique situation.
- Oral Examination: Our team will conduct a thorough examination of your oral and throat structures to identify potential causes of airway obstruction.
- Sleep Studies: If necessary, we may recommend a sleep study to monitor your breathing patterns and sleep cycles.
- Custom Oral Appliances: For many patients, a custom-fitted oral appliance can effectively alleviate snoring and manage sleep apnea. These devices are designed to reposition the jaw and tongue, keeping the airway open during sleep.
