Is Coffee Not Enough Anymore?

coffee not el paso txIf you struggle to wake up and feel refreshed, it might be due to a common sleep disorder called chronic obstructive sleep apnea. This condition occurs when your throat blocks your own airway during sleep, and it can pose serious health problems if ignored. Those with untreated obstructive sleep apnea are at a significantly higher risk of developing type II diabetes and experiencing heart attack or stroke. So, it’s important to find a treatment option that works for you, so you can stay compliant with your care.

With Sunny Smiles, you have a team that’s dedicated to your rest success. We also understand that hoses and wires are simply not for everyone; that’s why we offer advanced oral appliance therapy, which works in a different way than traditional CPAP methods. Through a simple readjustment of the placement of your jaw, an oral appliance opens up the airway, allowing you to breathe deeply throughout the night. So, stop waiting for your snoring to stop on its own.

When coffee’s no longer enough to wake you up, call Sunny Smiles. We’re here for you.
