The Dangers of Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea comes with many complications, from the frustrating to the dangerous. 

One of the first issues sleep apnea sufferers may notice is being tired or fatigued during the day. It makes sense because the stopping and starting of your breathing often wakes you up — even if you don’t notice it at the time. But the result is not getting a restful or restorative night’s sleep. 

More serious dangers include a variety of potential health impacts, including heart problems, diabetes, liver issues, and more.

Do I Have Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea requires diagnosis by a medical professional. If you’re experiencing symptoms, or are concerned that you may be suffering from sleep apnea, call your doctor.

Benefits of Sleep Apnea Treatment

As you’ve seen above, sleep apnea comes with many serious complications. That makes getting treatment essential. With proper treatment, not only can you avoid a worsening of your overall health, but you’ll finally be able to sleep soundly through the night, leading to energy throughout the day. 

At Mid-Peninsula Dental Specialists, we understand the importance of a good night’s sleep, as well as safeguarding your overall well being. That’s why we’re committed to helping you find sleep apnea treatments that will work for you and your lifestyle.

Hate Your CPAP?

Although a CPAP machine is generally the first choice for sleep apnea treatment, some people don’t tolerate the use of a CPAP, and CPAP alternatives are required. 

For milder forms of sleep apnea, a dental appliance may be a suitable CPAP alternative. Rather than using bursts of air to keep the airway open, like a CPAP machine, a dental appliance prevents the tongue or jaw from shifting position to block the airway. 

If you’re considering sleep apnea treatment alternatives, talk to our specialists. They can evaluate your situation and the anatomy of your airway to determine whether a dental appliance or sleep apnea mouth guard could be an appropriate treatment option for you.

Our Happy Patients

Dr Phan and Dental Assistant Jane were really Pros from start to finish. Jane was absolutely hilarious and very attentive, while also totally professional. Her and Dr. Phan made a great team and were able to solve my complicated wisdom tooth situation and always kept me informed of every risk before proceeding. Thank you!

Dr Beckstead is amazing. I had partial bone loss around one of my teeth and three dentists think that I won't be able to keep it, but Dr Beckstead performed one surgery and saved my tooth. It has been over two years since the surgery and I have not had any more issues with that tooth.

I'm actually looking forward to my next prophylaxis. That's a teeth cleaning, and I never would have believed I'd say such a thing. I want to give a special shout out to Cindy, who did a fantastic job on my teeth AND gave me the tools and knowledge to nip gum disease in the bud. Have you ever heard of a Sulcabrush? I have one now, and it's awesome. Look it up.

Dr. Beckstead and his entire team are exceptional. They provided kind, informative and top-notch care every step of the way. My nerves were immediately calmed when I entered the office and I realized that I was in the caring and experienced care of true professionals. The procedure was flawless, the outcome was terrific and the entire process was pain-free (in every way!).
