Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder marked by interruptions and pauses in breathing during
sleep. Obstructive sleep apnea is caused by obstructions in the airway, such as the tongue
rolling back in the throat or collapsed tissues in the airway. Untreated sleep apnea can
contribute to several serious health conditions, including heart disease, high blood pressure,
and liver problems.

Sleep apnea must be diagnosed by a sleep physician. We recommend that you talk to our
dentist, as well as your doctor, if you suffer from the symptoms of sleep apnea. Common
signs of sleep apnea include:

• Extreme drowsiness during the day
• Personality changes and irritability
• Difficulty staying asleep
• Snoring
• Awakening with a very dry or sore throat
• Frequent morning headaches

Sleep apnea treatment may depend on the severity of the condition. If you suffer from mild
to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, our dentist may recommend an oral appliance. The
oral appliance works to treat obstructive sleep apnea by fitting over your teeth and keeping
your airway open while you sleep. It can work by preventing the tongue from blocking the air
passage, or by holding your jaw in a position that prevents airway blockages during sleep.
