Dr. Mauricio Martinez Helps Stop Snoring in Cape Coral, Fla. with Advanced Sleep Apnea Treatment
Gulf Coast Smiles is raising awareness about the signs of obstructive sleep apnea and the risks of untreated symptoms, including snoring in Cape Coral, Fla.
CAPE CORAL, Fla., May 21, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dr. Mauricio Martinez and the team at Gulf Coast Smiles raise awareness of the harmful systemic effects of untreated obstructive sleep apnea as well as common symptoms to look out for including daytime fatigue and snoring in Cape Coral, Fla. Dr. Martinez welcomes patients who have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and treats the condition with guided lifestyle changes, oral appliance therapy, and CPAP therapy.
Obstructive sleep apnea is characterized by repeated and frequent cessations in breathing. During sleep, the muscles and tissue in the mouth and throat relax, partially (snoring) or fully blocking air from passing through to the lungs. The body responds by partially waking to reopen the upper airway, an interruption to normal sleep patterns that can happen many times during the night. Sleep apnea increases the risk of:
- Chronic fatigue
- Hypertension
- Obesity
- Diabetes
- Depression
- Heart disease
- Stroke
Dr. Martinez treats diagnosed sleep apnea by recommending lifestyle changes and by offering oral appliance or CPAP therapy. Lifestyle changes include reducing or stopping smoking, tobacco use, and alcohol use, as well as weight loss and maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine. Oral appliance therapy uses custom mouthguards worn over the teeth to keep the lower jaw from falling backward and blocking the airway during sleep. CPAP therapy involves using a device worn over the mouth and nose that forces air to the lungs to keep the airway open. Dr. Martinez finds that one or more of these methods can successfully lessen the severity of sleep apnea and reduce or eliminate snoring.
