What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a condition that causes patients to stop breathing temporarily in their sleep. It can be caused by a number of factors, including genes, allergies, enlarged adenoids or tonsils, obesity, smoking or alcohol use, and more. Sleep apnea is a serious problem that could lead to a host of other medical issues down the line.

Some symptoms of sleep apnea are:

  • Excessive snoring
  • Feeling exhausted throughout the day
  • Headaches, especially in the morning
  • Dry mouth
  • Moodiness or irritability
  • Insomnia

Many of these could also be symptoms of other conditions. If you’re concerned about the presence of sleep apnea symptoms, see your doctor for a diagnosis.

Sleep Apnea Treatment Options

One treatment option for sleep apnea that we offer is called oral appliance therapy. The patient is fitted with a device similar to a mouth guard that keeps the jaw in proper alignment throughout the night. In many cases, this treatment is enough to keep the airways open and prevent sleep apnea.

For many patients, oral appliance therapy is an effective alternative to a CPAP machine and is more convenient to use, but it might not be the right choice for every sleep apnea patient. Our Holland dentists can help you decide whether oral appliance therapy is right for you.
