A Simple Oral Appliance Can Make a Difference

Did you know that you could experience hundreds of episodes of sleep apnea each night and not even be aware of it? If you’re a sufferer of severe sleep apnea, your sleep could be disrupted as many as 50 times per hour!

Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the tongue and other soft tissues in the back of your throat relax and block your airway. When this happens, your brain signals your body to wake up and take in more oxygen. After you do, you drift off to sleep once more – until the next episode occurs.

The experts at Smith & Wetterhus Dentistry can help, however. We can make a custom mouthguard for you to wear while sleeping. It will push your lower jaw forward enough to help keep your airway open. The result is fewer or even no sleep apnea occurrences!

Plus, since those soft tissues won’t have air passing by them to cause snoring, your sleep will be quieter. You and your bed partner will both thank us!

Treating sleep apnea will also help you avoid serious health consequences. Many conditions have been linked to sleep apnea, including high blood pressure, heart attacks, stroke, diabetes, and depression. Our treatment can actually help you live longer.

If you haven’t yet had a diagnosis of sleep apnea, don’t worry. We can refer you to a qualified physician or sleep specialist to have a sleep study done.

Puyallup sleep apnea doesn’t have to ruin your day – or your life. Call us today to schedule your consultation: 253-999-9419. You can also schedule online for sleep apnea or for your regular six-month checkup.
