End Your Sleep Apnea Problems

This sleep disorder does more than just disrupt your rest. Obstructive sleep apnea, the most common kind of sleep apnea, can contribute to a number of serious health problems, including high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, and depression. That’s why it’s better to seek sleep apnea treatment now rather than later. Our treatment can improve your quality of life and potentially help you live longer.

Obstructive sleep apnea is caused when the tongue and other soft tissues in your throat relax and block your air passages. At Starr General Dentistry, we’ll fit you with a simple oral appliance. It will:

  • Minimize sleep apnea symptoms by moving your lower jaw slightly forward
  • Help you avoid the need for a bulky CPAP machine
  • Keep your airway open while you sleep so you can breathe easily throughout the night

The result will be more restful sleep as well as more productive days. In addition, since snoring is caused by air moving across those soft tissues, you’ll snore less or not at all. Your bed partner will be grateful for your treatment!

Get the effective help you need for Waco sleep apnea by calling Starr General Dentistry today at 254-401-0129. You can also schedule an appointment online for sleep apnea help or for your next regular checkup.

Common Questions About Sleep Apnea

What is sleep apnea?

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder in which someone stops breathing when they fall asleep. For people with this condition, those stoppages can happen hundreds of times every night. To treat this, you need to find a way to keep breathing. For people with obstructive sleep apnea (the most common form of this disorder), we can help by making a special oral appliance that you wear while you sleep.

What are sleep apnea symptoms?

The most common symptoms are loud and persistent snoring and breathing stoppages. It’s likely other people will be more aware of them first. Morning headaches and waking up with a dry mouth or sore throat also can be signs of sleep apnea. Many people with this condition feel tired or sleepy throughout the day too. Other symptoms include difficulty staying focused and becoming irritated easily.

Why should sleep apnea be treated?

Sleep apnea can lead to sleep deprivation. It also places your body in a state of stress when it should be resting and recovering. People with sleep apnea also have an increased risk of other health problems. These problems include high blood pressure, heart attacks, cardiovascular disease, and strokes. Sleep deprivation from sleep apnea also leaves you more likely to be involved in a car accident.
