At Groovy Dental, we recognize the significant impact that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can have on overall health and well-being. Drs. Alyssa Dawson and Trenton Dawson are committed to offering advanced treatment options to effectively diagnose and manage this common sleep disorder.
Obstructive sleep apnea is characterized by repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep due to partial or complete blockage of the airway. Common symptoms of sleep apnea include:
- Loud snoring
- Daytime fatigue
- Morning headaches
- Sudden awakenings with a sensation of gasping or chocking
Without treatment, these symptoms can lead to more serious health issues.
When you visit our office, your appointment will begin with a comprehensive evaluation to discuss your symptoms and review your medical history. For those who are suitable candidates, we provide oral appliance therapy. This noninvasive treatment involves a custom-fitted device that positions the jaw slightly forward, keeping the airway open during sleep and preventing apnea episodes.
The benefits of treating sleep apnea with oral appliance therapy include:
- Improved sleep quality
- Reduced snoring
- Decreased risk of cardiovascular problems
- Enhanced daytime energy
- Better mood regulation
- Overall improved health
