Sleep Apnea Treatment

At Pacific Family Dental, we provide effective sleep apnea treatment to help you achieve a restful night’s sleep. Sleep apnea is a serious condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, leading to disrupted sleep and other health issues. We offer custom-made sleep apnea mouth guards, also known as oral appliances for sleep apnea, which gently reposition the jaw to keep your airway open. This treatment can significantly reduce snoring and improve sleep quality, enhancing your overall health and well-being. Our expert team is dedicated to providing personalized care to address your specific needs and help you wake up feeling refreshed and energized. Trust us to help you breathe easier and sleep better with our advanced sleep apnea solutions.

  • What is sleep apnea?

    Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, disrupting sleep and reducing the body’s oxygen supply. This condition can cause symptoms like loud snoring and daytime fatigue and can increase the risk of serious health issues such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke.

  • How is sleep apnea diagnosed?

    Sleep apnea is diagnosed through a sleep study, either conducted at a sleep center or through a home sleep apnea test. During the study, your breathing patterns, oxygen levels, and other vital signs are monitored while you sleep. Based on the results, a healthcare professional can determine the presence and severity of sleep apnea and recommend appropriate treatment options.

  • What are common sleep apnea symptoms?

    Common sleep apnea symptoms include loud snoring, gasping for air during sleep, frequent awakenings, excessive daytime sleepiness, difficulty concentrating, morning headaches, and dry mouth or sore throat upon waking. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for evaluation and potential diagnosis.

  • How is sleep apnea treated?

    Depending on the severity of the condition, sleep apnea is treated using various methods. Common treatments include lifestyle changes such as weight loss and avoiding alcohol, the use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines, and oral appliances like sleep apnea mouth guards that reposition the jaw to keep the airway open. In some cases, surgery may be recommended to remove or reduce tissue obstructing the airway.
