Sleep Apnea And Loud Snoring - Help Is Now Available At Gunbarrel Dental Center
Sleep
apnea is a potentially dangerous disorder in the Boulder area with
fairly benign symptoms such as loud snoring at night, periodic grinding
of the teeth, morning headaches, high blood pressure, acid reflux or
daytime bouts of sleepiness. The cause? Intermittent periods throughout
sleep when you actually stop breathing.Breathing cessation, or apnea, lasts from seconds to nearly a minute. When breathing resumes, the brain senses lack of oxygen and wakes you up. The snoring is loud, sometimes explosive. (Call us at Gunbarrel Dental Center for complete details.)
In the morning, the build-up of carbon dioxide in the blood causes headaches. And the lack of deep sleep can leave one drowsy and usually grouchy, during the day.
During sleep apnea, the upper air passages in the mouth and throat are obstructed. Causes include smoking, alcohol use, obesity and throat anatomy. It most commonly affects men, but women can also experience this disorder. The affliction is known to have caused marital difficulties, including divorce, since the spouse also experiences lack of sleep due to the snoring. One form of treatment that has proven successful is wearing an acrylic appliance during sleep to keep air passages open. It's comfortable and easy to use.
Dr. Savory is a member of the Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, www.dentalsleepmed.org.
Also, you can go to www.airwaylaybs.com to learn about the dental device that Dr. Savory uses to help his patients with their sleep apnea or snoring problems.
