Do you snore, wake up tired, or have low energy?

Sleep problems can significantly harm your health and well-being. Two of the most common issues are obstructive sleep apnea and snoring.

Sleep apnea, characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep, can lead to serious health issues if untreated. Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the soft tissue in the throat blocks the airway, causing breathing interruptions and leading to symptoms like snoring, choking, and daytime fatigue. Fortunately, this can be corrected with a dental device.

Our sleep apnea dentists in Gilroy & Morgan Hill can help treat sleep apnea with mandibular advancement devices. These custom-fitted dental devices gently move the lower jaw forward, keeping the airway open during sleep and preventing the interruptions that characterize sleep apnea.

Sleep apnea: beyond snoring

Sleep apnea is more than snoring—it’s a serious condition that affects your overall health. If you’re getting enough sleep but still feel tired, you might have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Risks of untreated sleep apnea

  • Heart disease: Increased risk of heart attacks and high blood pressure.
  • Stroke: Higher risk due to fluctuating oxygen levels.
  • Diabetes: Linked to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
  • Mental health issues: Causes mood swings, depression, and anxiety.
  • Daytime fatigue: Leads to excessive drowsiness and accident risk.

Why sleep apnea is often missed

  • Subtle symptoms: Often mistaken for regular snoring or fatigue.
  • Silent sufferers: Many are unaware of their nighttime symptoms.
  • Misdiagnosis: Daytime sleepiness can be attributed to other issues.
  • Lack of awareness: Severity is often underestimated.

Did you know? Sleep apnea can double the risk of heart disease and affects 50-70 million U.S. adults. Don’t ignore the signs. Our custom mandibular advancement devices can help. Book your free consultation today!
