3 Things You Didn't Know About Sleep Apnea
Getting a
good night's sleep and sleeping restfully is an important part of good health
and well-being. The average adult needs at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep and
children and young adults need even more. One of the reasons that sleeping
blissfully may be challenging is because of sleep apnea. Most people are
unaware that cosmetic
dentistry can provide effective treatment for this ailment.
Sleep apnea is a common disorder in which you may have one or more pauses in breathing or shallow breaths while you sleep. This disruption interferes with the quality of your sleep and can often go undiagnosed. Here are three things you didn't know about sleep apnea and its treatment.

How Is Sleep Apnea Treated?
Ignoring the
symptoms of sleep
apnea can lead to more serious health risks. Here are the three most common
dental treatments:
1) Mouthpieces or Oral Appliances - This is a custom-made dental device which will adjust your tongue and lower jaw to keep airways open during sleep.
2) Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) - The CPAP machine uses a mask that fits over both the mouth and nose to gently blow air into your throat. This keeps airways open while you sleep.
3) Surgery - With some severe cases of sleep apnea, surgery may be needed to widen breathing passages.
Ignoring the signs and symptoms of sleep apnea can often go on for many years. Our Virginia Beach cosmetic dentist Dr. Folck can recommend a number of positive treatments to cure this sleep disruptor.
If you are suffering from sleep apnea, please contact Dr. Michael Folck, DDS for your initial consultation with an experienced Virginia Beach and surrounding areas dentist.
