Some of us may snore after being exhausted from a long day at work or running around town getting errands done. When snoring begins to disrupt your partner, or if you find yourself feeling chronically fatigued after a long night of sleep, it may be time to evaluate this habit. The noisy sound of snoring occurs when there is an obstruction to the free flow of air through the passages toward the back of the mouth and throat. When snoring is a symptom of sleep apnea, our doctors at Bridge Smile Dental Group P.A. can help you treat the problem.
It’s important that habitual snorers get tested for sleep apnea because this condition can be very detrimental to a person’s overall health. Sleep apnea can make a person feel exhausted during the day, which may impair job performance and pose a danger to his or herself as well as others. Untreated sleep apnea also increases a patient’s risk of developing heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and many other medical problems. Treatment for sleep apnea will depend on the diagnosis.
If you have questions or concerns about sleep apnea, please give us a call. To learn more about the services we provide at our office, visit www.bridgesmilesdental.com for more information.
