What is obstructive sleep apnea?

Do you snore? Are you often tired or sleepy during the day? Have you ever been told you stop breathing while you sleep?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be at high risk for obstructive sleep apnea.

OSA has been linked to excessive tiredness, depression, and reduced resistance to infection. When left untreated, OSA can increase the risk of heart attack, hypertension, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, catching colds, and even death. It can have a significant impact on quality of life, placing unnecessary strain on relationships between bed partners, family, and the work place.

If you have OSA or display symptoms of OSA such as loud snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, fatigue, and witnessed apneas, it is essential that you seek the right treatment option. Ask our office if SomnoDent is right for you.
