Sleep apnea symptoms can be subtle and easy to ignore. The patient may have loud snoring or gasp or choke while asleep. Other symptoms can include daytime sleepiness, depression, fatigue, dry mouth, morning headaches and morning sore throats. Symptoms are similar regardless of the type of sleep apnea. Some patients have few noticeable symptoms. If the condition goes untreated, sleep apnea sufferers may be more likely to develop high blood pressure, arrhythmias, cardiovascular disease, obesity and other potentially serious health issues. Treating sleep apnea can help maintain proper blood oxygen levels and healthy sleeping patterns for better overall health.
Los Angeles sleep apnea dentist Dr. Bijan Afar works with patients to identify any underlying causes or contributing factors so that he can design the most appropriate treatment plan for patients. A sleep apnea mouthpiece is often extremely effective for patients with minor to moderate sleep apnea and works by stabilizing the soft tissues of the mouth and keeping the airways open during sleep. Each sleep apnea appliance is customized to fit the unique contours of the mouth of every patient to provide maximum benefits. Patients may be given other treatment recommendations as well to ensure the best possible outcomes.
