The team of Nashua Cosmetic and Restorative Dentistry, PLLC provide general, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry solutions. Patients in the community know and trust them to offer comprehensive care for their oral health care needs. When patients have conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea, they are often surprised to learn that treatment can be obtained from their dental professional.
Patients with obstructive sleep apnea may have been told that they have a sleeping disorder. This condition causes patients to briefly stop breathing hundreds of times a night, keeping them from getting a good night’s rest. These patients are unable to achieve the deep levels of restorative sleep required to function at their best. This is due to an obstruction in the airway. The obstruction may be caused by misalignment of the jaw or the tongue falling back into the throat.
The best treatment for OSA will vary from patient to patient. Most physicians recommend a CPAP machine. CPAP is a specialized air pressure machine with a mask that is worn over the nose and mouth to keep the airways open at night. However, many patients don’t find this comfortable. Instead, special splint treatments can help.
