Snoring & Sleep Apnea Treatment

Do you or your spouse sound like a bird, plane, or train while sleeping? Do you feel tired and poorly rested, even though you slept for an adequate amount of time? If so, you may suffer from obstructive sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea is a medical condition in which airway obstructions interrupt your breathing during sleep. These breathing interruptions result in decreased levels of oxygen in the body, and the condition can even be life threatening. Men are more likely than women to suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, and your risk increases as you age. You may suffer from sleep apnea if you experience the following signs and symptoms:

• Frequent, loud snoring
• Excessive daytime drowsiness
• Difficulty focusing
• Insomnia or difficulty staying asleep
• Morning headaches
• Irritability and mood changes
• Awakening with a sore or dry throat
• Choking or gasping sensations during sleep

Tooth Acres offers sleep apnea treatment to Fort Wayne, Indiana, providing a variety of mouth appliances that silence the snorer and keep their airways open without the major discomfort of surgery or machines. This new option has revolutionized the ease of treating people who suffer the ill effects of being a terrible roommate and poor sleeper. Dr. Painter and Dr. Fisher both provide custom-made oral devices that prevent airway obstructions during sleep. You only wear the oral device at night, and we will ensure that it fits comfortably and effectively. If you believe that you may suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, we invite you to contact us today at Tooth Acres Dentistry.
