Snoring is estimated to affect 57% of men and 40% of women in the United States. It even occurs in up to 27% of children. Snoring can be light, occasional, and unconcerning, or it may be the sign of a serious underlying sleep-related breathing disorder. Snoring is one of the most common symptoms of OSA. Not all people who snore have OSA. When associated with sleep apnea, snoring can often be loud and may sound as if a person is choking or gasping for breath. If you or a loved one is snoring and has any of the following symptoms, it is important to discuss with your doctor possible underlying disease: • Waking up unrefreshed and feeling tired during the day • Frequently waking up at night • Teeth grinding • Lack of focus and feeling foggy • Morning headaches • Obesity or recent weight gain • High blood pressure • History of heart disease, acid reflux Why should I be concerned if I have sleep apnea? Obstructive sleep apnea is a silent disease that affects multiple organs and can impact your life in a significant way. If it is untreated you have an elevated risk for the following conditions: - 4x increased risk of stroke and death - 3x increased risk of high blood pressure - 2.5x increased risk of motor vehicle and occupational accidents - 2.5x increased risk of heart failure - 1.5 x increased risk of diabetes, depression and heart disease It is therefore very important for your overall health that this disease be managed. Depending on the severity and other factors, your doctor will review your options for CPAP, dental device, surgery and other options for management. In our office, we specialize in providing care for patients who are interested in a dental device to manage their sleep apnea. Our team has gone through extensive training to treat patients and help them utilize their medical insurance to pay for their device. CPAP is often considered the first line of treatment, but for patients who have mild or moderate apnea, a dental device is considered just as efficacious. Most patients find a dental device easier to use than a CPAP, more portable and their bed partners also prefer it.
