Sleep Apnea
Explained

Sleep apnea is a condition that many people suffer from. While asleep, all your muscles relax, including the throat and tongue muscles. The soft tissue at the back of your throat can sag, narrowing the airway and thus obstructing your breathing. This obstruction causes you to snore.

For individuals with severe sleep apnea, the airway becomes completely blocked, and they can no longer breathe. A good night’s rest becomes a dream beyond reach, as they are often forced to wake up, gasping for air.

At KWC Dental, we are able to fabricate a small intraoral appliance to be worn while you’re asleep. Before making an appliance, we require that patients get a sleep test confirming a sleep apnea diagnosis. We then do an oral exam and take impressions. This custom-made appliance can help you finally get that good night’s sleep you’ve been dreaming of!

Symptoms Of
Sleep Apnea

It is important to understand sleep apnea symptoms so you can seek treatment as soon as possible. Here are some important symptoms you must be on the lookout for:

Gasping for air while sleeping
Loud snoring
Headache in the morning
Dry mouth
Difficulty falling asleep
Excessive sleepiness during the day
Irritability
Difficulty paying attention when awake

If another person is sleeping with you, and they report that you stop breathing while sleeping, you must seek treatment as soon as possible. Sleep apnea can easily be managed with the right treatment methods.

Our Sleep Apnea Treatment Procedure

This condition has been linked to chronic fatigue, reduced resistance to infection, and often depression.

Untreated sleep apnea can increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, and other major health issues.

First, our dentists will ask you to conduct a sleep test to determine whether you have sleep apnea. After a diagnosis, we do an oral examination and take impressions. Then, we create a custom appliance to fit you perfectly while breathing. Soon, you will start breathing while sleeping without any issues.
