Franklin Dental wants to help you by offering sleep apnea and snore guard treatments. If you sleep with someone that is continuously snoring and this causes you to lose sleep, we can help solve this problem too. Below are a list of devices that help you say goodbye to snoring.
Do you go to sleep with airway problems that cause snoring or sleep apnea?
Tongue Retaining: Keeps your airways open by holding your tongue in the proper position. This retainer can sometimes require periodic adjustment or replacement so come back to our office and our team at Franklin Dental will happily adjust it for you.
Mandibular Advancement: A sports mouthguard that forces your lower jaw slightly forward and down, aiding in keeping your airway open to prevent breathing problems.
Snoring is more common in men than women, occurring when the flow of air from your mouth or nose to your lungs makes tissues in your throat vibrate while asleep. This issue is caused when the muscles at the back roof of your mouth, throat and tongue are too relaxed. This problem is sometimes related to sleep apnea but to better understand and assess the situation, check to see if you have all or several of the following symptoms.
● Irritability ● Depression ● Pauses taking place when you are snoring ● Personality changes or mood swings ● The need to wake up frequently to urinate ● Sore throat or dry mouth when you wake up ● Breathing cessation episodes ● Attention problems ● Difficulty staying asleep ● Choking or gasping following pauses ● Fighting sleepiness at work, while driving or during the entirety of your day ● Quickly falling asleep when inactive ● Morning headaches ● Tossing and turning in your sleep ● Decreased libido
In order to be your best at all times, come to Franklin Dental, the Fort McMurray dentist that helps you sleep peacefully and breath normally.
More AboutSleep Apnea
You may encounter sleep apnea if you have a problem with your jawbone or have large tonsils. Sleep apnea is a severe condition that we want you to be cognitive of since it required immediate assistance. We want to help you halt the occurrence of it. As with snoring, sleep apnea happens when your throat muscles and tongue are too relaxed during sleep creating blocked or narrow airways. While more likely to occur in overweight people, those that sleep on their back or consume alcohol before bed, it is something we want you to be aware of. Sleep apnea can lead to many more negative situations.
Reactions to Sleep Apnea ● Diabetes ● High blood pressure in general or in your lungs ● Abnormal heart rhythm, heart failure, stroke or coronary artery disease
