Do you wake up feeling groggy or disrupt others with your snoring? If you’re dealing with sleep apnoea, a disorder that disrupts your breathing when you sleep, the lack of a full night’s sleep can not only be frustrating but also detrimental to your health. At EDentist, we provide sleep apnoea treatment options, offering personalised therapies that go a long way in helping you maintain a healthy sleep schedule.
Including dental intervention in your obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) treatment plan can enhance your recovery and help you enjoy uninterrupted sleep.
Sleep apnoea is a breathing disorder that occurs while sleeping. As you sleep, your body muscles relax, resulting in the sagging of the soft tissue at the back of your throat. This sagging restricts airflow, causing you to gasp and partially wake up. Though you will be able to fall back to sleep, the airflow restriction will reoccur, forcing you to spend your night alternating between sleep and semi-arousal.
Patients with sleep apnoea might experience hundreds of these episodes in one night but are unlikely to remember them. In most cases, their partners notice the condition.
Excess weight is the most common cause of sleep apnoea. However, anyone is at risk of developing the condition. Certain factors increase the chances of experiencing the disorder, such as gender, health problems, and sleeping position. For instance, men are more prone to suffering from sleep apnoea than women, and people who sleep on their backs tend to develop it more often than side sleepers.
Common signs of sleep apnoea range from loud snoring and mood disturbances to decreased libido and social withdrawal. Due to their fragmented sleep, patients might experience daytime drowsiness, morning tiredness, and poor cognitive function.
Many doctors prescribe a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine to treat sleep apnoea by keeping the airway open during sleep. EDentist proudly offers alternative treatment options to those who are not responding well to CPAP. Our team utilises specialised oral appliances that prevent your tongue from falling back or holding your jaw forward. At your consultation appointment, we will refer you for a sleep study to determine the severity of your sleep apnoea before discussing the cost and creating your customised treatment plan.
We will take impressions of your teeth to mould a custom dental appliance you will wear as you sleep. Backed by a commitment to delivering comprehensive solutions, your sleep apnoea treatment will also include regular follow-ups that will help us track progress.
Continuous snoring and interrupted breathing during sleep keep you from getting enough deep sleep. Sleep apnoea treatment helps you wake up less often and achieve deep, restful sleep.
Inadequate sleep affects your energy levels and productivity. With sleep apnoea treatment, you'll feel more refreshed and alert when you wake up.
Treating your sleep apnoea can lower the risk of developing heart disease, stroke, and even cancer. It also helps improve insulin resistance in patients with diabetes.
