    -Mood Disturbance

More than sound may be disturbing you. Loud snoring can be a signal that something is seriously wrong with your breathing during sleep. Excessive snoring may indicate obstructive sleep apnea, a condition caused by obstruction near the base of the tongue.

The real indication of sleep apnea isn’t snoring. It is when snoring stops, along with breathing. Sleep apnea can cause a person to stop breathing for periods of time, sometimes hundreds of times during the night and often for a minute or longer.

Many patients who struggled with the exhaustion, irritability and even impaired memory associated with these nighttime disturbances have found relief at their dentist’s office. That’s right – relief without chafing nose strips or bulky and irritating CPAP machines.

Many different types of Sleep appliances are available from a dentist, including the SomnoDent MAS™ and TheraSnore®. Oral appliances have been found to be highly effective in stopping snoring and treating mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.

Get back to a good night’s sleep. Without a sleep study. Without a CPAP strapped to your head. Ask your dentist if he or she has training and experience with sleep appliances.
