Sleep Apnea Awareness Day
If you’re one of the tens of millions of Americans who
suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, your quality of life is not the only thing
that has been affected. As annoying as snoring might be to a sleep apnea
sufferer’s partner, there are other, more significant long-term health
consequences of the condition, including an increased risk of cardiovascular
disease.
It’s for this reason that the American Sleep Apnea
Association declared April 18 National Sleep Apnea Awareness Day. It’s an
important step for increasing our collective knowledge base when it comes to
this serious condition.
One important piece of information sleep apnea sufferers
should keep in mind is that your dentist
might be able to help restore you to a healthy, restful sleep.
People don’t think of dentists when they think of sleep
apnea, but dentists equipped with modern technology
and possessed of special training can not only diagnose you with sleep apnea
but also craft a customized treatment plan that is right for you.
And sleep apnea does
not have to be treated with a cumbersome, intrusive CPAP machines. Other
options, such as customized orthotics or jaw alignment correction devices, can
also prove helpful.
Please contact us
today to find a qualified cosmetic dentist in your area who can help treat your
sleep apnea.
