The silent disruptor of restful sleep
Sleep apnea is a common yet often undiagnosed sleep disorder that can significantly impact your health and quality of life. It occurs when your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep.
- Obstructive sleep apnea: occurs when throat muscles relax.
- Central sleep apnea: occurs when your brain doesn’t send proper signals to the muscles that control breathing.
Treatment often involves lifestyle changes, mouthpieces, breathing devices, and sometimes surgery to ensure a good night’s sleep and better health. Our Waxhaw sleep apnea dentists Dr. Anait and Dr. Armen are committed to providing comprehensive treatment, ensuring that your journey to better sleep starts with a solid foundation of health.
How sleep apnea treatment enhancesyour life
- Improves overall sleep quality, leading to better rest and energy levels.
- Reduces the risk of health issues linked to untreated sleep apnea, like heart disease and stroke.
- Enhances mental clarity and reduces daytime fatigue, improving your productivity.
- Alleviates loud snoring, benefiting both you and your sleep partner.
