Dental
Sleep is a hot topic in modern
medicine and long ago made its
way to the dental profession with
good reason. Poor sleep is evident
everywhere in society. Whether it’s
tossing and turning at night, feeling
tired all day long, early morning
headaches and facial muscle
soreness, kids wetting the bed or
just plain ole dry mouth, it all stems
from a compromised airway. Obtaining
oxygen is priority number
one for the human body and anything
that gets in the way of this
priority will be changed or altered.
Many of these changes that occur
can be noticed in the mouth and
face. The shutting off of the airway
during sleep is termed obstructive
sleep apnea.
While dentists
have long since recognized
signs and
symptoms of sleep
apnea, most of the
time the only treatment
or advice they
provide is to visit an ears nose and
throat doctor or sleep specialist to
have a sleep study done. This is excellent
and even lifesaving advice, as
studies have shown sleep apnea can
shorten one’s life by 10-15 years.
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
(CPAP) therapy is the gold standard
of sleep apnea treatment, however,
studies show that only 50 percent of
people can or will wear their CPAPs.
In cases like this, there is another
option. It is a specifically designed
mouthpiece that can be worn at night
and help increase the amount of air a
person gets while sleeping.
If you suffer from poor sleep,
or if you have been diagnosed with
sleep apnea and can’t wear a CPAP,
we can help. Call 501-679-4700 for
an appointment.
