Have you been told you snore? Do you wake up unrefreshed or with a headache? Or are you unusually tired and sleepy during the day? All these are signs of sleep apnea, the result of obstructed and interrupted breathing during sleep.

The cause of sleep apnea is the blockage of your airway when the muscles of the throat relax too much, allowing your tongue to slip to the back of your throat where it blocks your airway.

Millions of people in this country alone are struggling to breathe at night without realizing it and without having their sleep apnea diagnosed. If you suffer from any of these symptoms, you would be very smart to see a medical doctor or sleep specialist to determine if you are, in fact, experiencing this problem during your sleep. If you are diagnosed with sleep apnea, we can help relieve it at Land O’ Lakes Dental.

Importance of Treating Sleep Apnea

The reason it’s so important to get treatment for sleep apnea is that it causes or contributes to a long list of physical ailments. When breathing is interrupted or inadequate during sleep, the body is stressed all night long and this leads to inflammation and a failure to heal and rebuild during the night.

The following problems may result from chronic sleep apnea:

High blood pressure
Heart disease
Lapses in memory
Impotence
Headaches
Weight increase
Accidents while driving or on the job
Poor performance in school or at work

If you’ve been diagnosed with sleep apnea, Dr. Aljure-Estrada can fit you with an oral appliance to wear during sleep to correct your nighttime breathing. This appliance moves the lower jaw into an optimum position so your airway is not obstructed at night. At last, you can anticipate a better night’s sleep and reduce the risk of experiencing serious health problems.

Breathe better. Sleep better. Feel better.

If you have not been diagnosed with sleep apnea but are concerned you may have it, call our office for more information. If you do have sleep apnea, schedule an appointment for an oral appliance with Dr. Aljure-Estrada at (813) 949-7424.
