Snoring and Sleep Apnea
Many Americans suffer from poor sleep due to their, or someone else's, snoring. Sleep Apnea is a breathing condition diagnosed by a physician, which is a severe form of sleep disturbance.
We can provide initial assesments and facilitate referrals as needed to your physician or pulmonologist. Many patients with snoring do well with simple, custom anti-snoring devices. For patients who experience daytime drowsiness, especially when driving, a medical referral is the best first choice. Dental devices to aid in reducing sleep apnea episodes can be incorporated into the treatment.
