Sleep in Comfort Once Again Using Maskless Sleep Apnea Treatment

Snoring may seem like a harmless issue that’s just a natural part of sleeping, but it’s no laughing matter for the millions of people suffering from obstructive sleep apnea. Sleep apnea can also damage relationships as many couples cannot sleep in the same room together anymore due to loud snoring, powerful enough in some cases to vibrate the bed! Thankfully, the A & S Dental Wellness Center of Leominster can offer relief. Dr. Yijia Li often recommends an effective anti-snoring mouthpiece to help alleviate sleep apnea and its noisy symptoms.

Learning More About Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Obstructive sleep apnea is a lot more than just loud snoring. It’s actually a condition that can shorten your lifespan if left untreated. However, it should be noted that snoring and sleep apnea do not always go hand in hand, as snoring can sometimes be an issue apart from sleep apnea. Sleep apnea occurs when you stop breathing in your sleep. The cessation of breathing, also called “events,” can happen several times an hour, causing a person to wake up briefly. The inability to remain in deep REM sleep can wreak havoc on the body, causing health issues such as daytime fatigue, high blood pressure, and even heart conditions. Depression and other mental health issues can also develop or become exacerbated by sleep apnea.

Solutions for Sleep Apnea

Dr. Li can prescribe effective solutions from the popular laser treatment Fotona NightLase, which can offer patients immediate relief to longer-term treatment options such as an anti-snoring mouthguard that can help open your airway. We also have help that focuses on the source of the problem, such as airway ortho treatment, a solution capable of reducing or even eliminating snoring while also addressing the main issue of sleep apnea.

There are also instances in which sleep apnea is caused by an obstruction blocking the airway due to abnormal physical features such as an underdeveloped jaw and narrow dental arches. These issues can also be addressed to bring our patients relief.
