Zionsville Sleep Apnea

August 17, 2017

Are you suffering from Zionsville sleep apnea?

If you’ve been experiencing a consistently poor sleep schedule, you may be a qualifying candidate for Zionsville sleep apnea treatments at Carmean Family Dentistry. Sleep apnea is a serious and potentially life threatening disorder. With the state-of-the-art technological advances at Carmean Family Dentistry, we have skill and experience in treating sleep apnea to provide you with an excellent, safe night’s sleep.

Generally, a sleep study is performed to determine the severity of the patient’s disorder. These results, combined with other medical findings, are used as the basis for determining the patient’s individualized treatment plan. For mild to moderate Zionsville sleep apnea treatments, our oral appliances are considered some of the best and safest treatment methods; they position the soft tissues of your palette to keep air passages open while you sleep. The oral retainer appliances, which are worn when sleeping, are custom fabricated using digital and physical impressions that provide comfort, portability, easy care, easy wear, and a quiet alternative to CPAP machines. CPAP machines are treatment devices, typically recommended for patients experiencing moderate to severe sleep apnea symptoms, which provide a steady stream of pressurized air into the patient’s respiratory system through a mask worn while sleeping.

Zionsville Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is caused when the soft tissues of the mouth and throat relax to the point where they create a blockage, falling over the upper airway. According to the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, approximately 25 million adults in the United States suffer from obstructive sleep apnea. Loud or frequent snoring, abrupt awakenings, unfulfilled sleep, breathing cessation, morning headaches, excessive daytime drowsiness or fatigue, difficulty concentrating, or irritability can all indicate the onset of sleep apnea.

If left untreated, Zionsville sleep apnea have severe consequences. By visiting Carmean Family Dentistry, you are not only providing yourself with a full night’s sleep, you are keeping yourself safe from potential disaster.
