SNORING PREVENTION AND SLEEP APNEA
Snoring is a common problem among Americans. It is estimated that 30-50% of the population suffers from this conditions. It not only affects themselves but their spouses and children with lack of sleep, irritability and poor daytime performance at work and school.
What is snoring and sleep apnea?
Because of the relaxation of muscles and tissues in the mouth and throat as we fall asleep, the airway may start to close. As this occurs a snoring sound can be produced. Increased body weight, alcohol usage and some medications contribute to snoring. When the airway completely closes the condition known as sleep apnea occurs. In either case the patient may experience:
- Sleepiness at work or driving
- Morning headaches
- Irritability
- Depression
- Mood swings
- Problems with focus and attention
How do we treat these conditions?
The key to treating this condition is with opening the airway and allowing more air to reach the lungs. We can fabricate a device for patients called a Mandibular Advancement Device when worn at night will comfortably allow the airway to open and give you a complete nighttime of restful sleep and also stop your snoring.
Breakage of a denture or loss of a tooth from a denture can ruin a person’s day. We work closely with our local laboratory to provide you with repairs that are long lasting and done in a day. Call us immediately at (203) 323-5905 should this happen to you.
