Sleep Apnea Treatment Montgomery, NJ

Sleep apnea is a serious condition that affects breathing during sleep, leading to fatigue, poor concentration and long-term health risks. Many people do not realize that a dentist can help manage sleep apnea with non-invasive, comfortable treatment options. To help patients achieve restful sleep and improve overall health, Prime Dental Care offers sleep apnea treatment in Montgomery, New Jersey.

What Is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea occurs when the airway becomes blocked or collapses during sleep, causing repeated interruptions in breathing. This condition prevents the body from receiving enough oxygen, leading to poor sleep quality and potential health complications.

There are two main types of sleep apnea:

• Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): The most common form, caused by relaxed throat muscles that block the airway.
• Central Sleep Apnea: A less common condition where the brain fails to send proper signals to the muscles that control breathing.

Our team works closely with patients to identify symptoms and recommend effective treatment solutions.

Signs and Symptoms of Sleep Apnea

Many individuals with sleep apnea are unaware of their condition. Some common signs include:

• Loud snoring
• Gasping or choking sounds during sleep
• Daytime fatigue or difficulty concentrating
• Frequent morning headaches
• Dry mouth or sore throat upon waking

If left untreated, sleep apnea can increase the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and other serious health conditions.

How a Dentist Can Help Treat Sleep Apnea

For patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, oral appliance therapy provides an effective, non-invasive treatment option. This involves wearing a custom-made oral device that repositions the jaw to keep the airway open during sleep. Benefits of oral appliance therapy include:

• Improved Sleep Quality: Reduces snoring and breathing interruptions.
• Comfortable and Non-Invasive: No need for masks or machines.
• Easy to Use and Travel With: Small and portable for convenience.
