Do your loved ones mention your loud or aggressive snoring? If they’ve started to bring it up, they might have a real point. Snoring could be a sign of a common sleep disorder called chronic obstructive sleep apnea, and if it is, then it puts your health at risk. This condition happens when the tissue of your throat becomes a little too soft during sleep, allowing it to block your airway. Without treatment, sleep apnea can cause some serious health conditions, increasing risk of heart attack and stroke.
That’s why, at Sunny Smiles, we help patients to experience deeper and more restful slumber through the use of oral appliance therapy. This approach provides an alternative of other forms of treatment such as CPAP, giving people an opportunity to toss their old hoses and masks. If you have been avoiding the discussion because of the intrusion and noise of traditional OSA treatment, ask about whether an oral appliance is right for you.
