The Symptoms of Sleep Apnea

The most common signs associated with sleep apnea include the following:
- Waking up in the night multiple times gasping for air.
- You have chronic headaches in the morning.
- You experience loud snoring.
- Your throat is extremely dry upon waking.
- You have chronic fatigue.
- You experience brain fog or memory loss.

The Dangers of Sleep Apnea

- High Blood Pressure
- Headaches
- Increased Risk of Diabetes
- Depression
- Fatigue
- Diminished Sex Drive
- Heart Disease
- Obesity
- Heart Attack
- Stroke

Our focus at Karmazin Dental is to provide patients with the best course of treatment for them, period.

By removing the restrictions of what insurance says they will or will not cover, patients get to spend their money the way they want.

Sleep Apnea Treatment Options
There are a range of treatment options available. Certain treatments are designed to correct the root cause of your sleep apnea while others are meant to help reduce the symptoms. Talk with Karmazin Dental about which treatment option is right for you.
- Lifestyle Change: The good news about sleep apnea is that in many cases, it can be corrected by changing some daily habits and improving your self-care. If you are committed to pursuing nonsurgical methods and treat this issue naturally, there are several options available. Exercising more, being aware of eating healthy, and reducing or eliminating the use of nicotine and alcohol can have tremendous positive results in addressing your sleep apnea symptoms. Taking steps to reducing your stress, either through mindfulness, yoga, massage, or a reduced workload can also help reduce or even eliminate sleep apnea issues.
- Surgery: If you have made changes to your daily habits and still suffer from sleep apnea, there are surgical procedures that can be performed that will widen your breathing passageways.
- CPAP Machine: A CPAP Machine is a common treatment option for sleep apnea. The CPAP machine blows pressurized air through a mask that is placed over your nose and mouth while you sleep. This is an effective way to keep your airways open.
- Oral Appliance Therapy: Karmazin Dental can help by providing an oral appliance, much like a mouthguard, which you can comfortably wear at night. It is designed to gently open your airway while you sleep, making it easier to breathe. Research shows the oral appliance is equally as effective as the CPAP machine for cases of mild to moderate sleep apnea.
