Snoring Remedies and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Treatment — Serving Newport News, Poquoson, Hampton, and Other Areas
Snoring is caused by partially obstructed breathing during sleep. Snoring may be harmless, but it also can be an indicator of a more serious medical condition known as obstructive sleep apnea. Those who experience snoring, but not sleep apnea, may nevertheless decide to seek treatment when a partner's sleeping habits are affected. At Newport News Dental Care, we provide snoring remedies and obstructive sleep apnea treatment to those in Poquoson, Hampton, and other areas of Virginia — helping our patients once again benefit from healthy sleep patterns and reduced snoring.
Visiting our Newport News practice can help you explore snoring remedies and, if necessary, find the sleep apnea treatment that is right for you. To begin your journey toward sound sleep and improved health, contact Newport News Dental Care today.
About Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the tongue and soft palate collapse toward the back of the throat during sleep, completely blocking the airway. When the passage of air is blocked, an individual partially awakens. This opens the airway, usually with a sudden gasp, allowing a return to deep sleep. For sleep apnea sufferers, this can occur many times throughout the night, having profoundly negative health effects. At our Newport News practice serving Poquoson, Hampton, Williamsburg, and other areas, we provide advanced sleep apnea treatment in the form of oral appliance therapy.
Effects of Sleep Apnea
With low oxygen levels and regularly interrupted sleep, sleep apnea sufferers can experience serious health effects. In addition to feeling sleepy during the day, sleep apnea sufferers also have an increased likelihood of heart attack, high blood pressure, and stroke.
Snoring Remedies and Sleep Apnea Treatment at Newport News Dental Care
At our practice serving Poquoson, Hampton, Yorktown, and surrounding communities, we focus on providing snoring remedies and a variety of sleep apnea treatment options to help our patients and their sleeping partners benefit from healthy sleep. The combination of treatment and certain lifestyle choices, such as exercise and weight loss, can help bring about profound changes in snoring and sleep apnea symptoms.
The professionals at Newport News Dental care offer a variety of snoring remedies and sleep apnea treatment options. Oral appliances have the ability to help maintain an open airway during sleep. Oral appliances are worn inside the mouth, much like orthodontic retainers. These appliances help prevent the tongue and soft tissues from blocking the airway. Used alone or in combination with lifestyle changes and other treatments, oral appliances provide highly effective snoring remedies and sleep apnea treatment options to our patients.
