It’s a beautiful morning in Warrenton .
So how did you sleep last night? If the answer is poorly it’s time to take the first step to figure out why. Sleeping poorly will effect your ability to function and can prevent you from being on top of your game. If your CPAP isn’t working for you you might be a candidate for an Oral appliance.

Many times patient will see their primary care doctor thinking they have an ear infection. So there started on antibiotics and after a week no change in fact the pain is worst. So patients come to our center and find out it isn’t a eat infection but referred pain from the TMD. Please be an advocate for your own health. If it doesn’t seem right it probably isn’t

What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea?

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep-related breathing disorder that prevents airflow during sleep. OSA occurs when the tissue in the back of the throat collapses temporarily blocking the airway, which keeps air from getting into the lungs. When your blood-oxygen level drops low enough, the body wakes up. It happens so quickly that the sleeper may not even remember the arousal.

The signs and symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea can often include the following:

Snoring
Excessive daytime sleepiness
Gasping or choking during the night
Non-refreshed sleep
Fragmented sleep
Clouded memory
Irritability
Personality changes
Morning headaches

Subconsciously waking up hundreds of times a night disrupts normal sleep patterns and can make a person feel very tired and un-refreshed the next day. The frequently associated snoring creates its own health issues and, in addition, even disrupts the normal sleep patterns of those in your household.
