Sleep Apnea

Do you snore?
Do you wake up tired in the morning?
Do you suffer from headaches? Acid reflux?
Do you have high blood pressure?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you could be suffering from Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB).

SDB is defined as labored respiration during sleep caused by airway obstruction. If you suffer from SDB, as you fall asleep you experience a loss of muscle tone called airway patency. The soft tissues in your airway relax against the tongue partially cutting off airflow to your lungs. 

Your Dentist Can Help. How? Sleep Disorders Dentistry.

SDD concentrates on reducing respiratory distress (your breathing problems at night) by determining the location and degree of airway obstruction and placing your airway in optimal breathing position to restore it's patency.
