Sleep apnea can disrupt your sleep and affect your overall health and wellbeing. At Neibaur Dental, INC, we understand the challenges of sleep apnea and offer comprehensive tips for effective treatment.
Understanding Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea causes shallow breaths or pauses in breath during sleep. These interruptions can occur multiple times per night, leading to fragmented sleep and decreased oxygen levels in the blood. Common symptoms include loud snoring, daytime fatigue and difficulty concentrating.
Tips for Effective Treatment
Managing sleep apnea involves a combination of lifestyle changes, medical interventions and in some cases, dental treatments. At Neibaur Dental, INC, Dr. Brigg Neibaur works closely with patients to develop personalized treatment plans. Here are key tips to help manage sleep apnea:
- Lifestyle Modifications: Making certain lifestyle changes can significantly improve sleep apnea symptoms. This includes maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding alcohol and sedatives before bedtime and establishing regular sleep patterns.
- Dental Devices: For some patients, oral appliances can help keep the airway open by repositioning the jaw during sleep.
- Surgical Options: In certain cases, surgical procedures may be recommended to address anatomical issues contributing to sleep apnea.
