Sleep Apnea Treatment
Sleep Apnea
Your sleep impacts every aspect of your health and daily life. Sleeping well helps you look, feel and preform your best. But a sleep problem can be harmful to your health and well-being. At Berkshire Family Dental, we are proud to offer sleep apnea treatment options for patients who have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and are looking for safe, non-invasive treatment options that can alleviate snoring and other symptoms of sleep apnea. Worn only while you sleep, our sleep apnea oral appliance fits much like a mouth guard or aligner and is designed with your comfort in mind. It works by supporting the jaw and maintaining an open airway.
Symptoms of Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a relatively common problem, but a serious one. When someone has sleep apnea, they irregularly stop breathing while they sleep, which can result in a variety of symptoms, including:
- Loud snoring
- Chronic sore throat
- Chronic dry mouth
- Morning headaches
- Waking up frequently throughout the night
- Daytime fatigue/drowsiness
- Memory/attention problems
- Irritability
- Mood swings
