Sleep Apnea Dentist East Aurora

Sleep apnea is a sleeping disorder that often goes undiagnosed and is greatly misunderstood by the general community. When patients are diagnosed with sleep apnea, they are often unaware of how important treating it can be. Sleep apnea affects a patient's overall health and well-being, both emotionally and physically. It affects a person's systemic health, and can lead to bruxism, acid reflux, cardiovascular problems, high blood pressure and depression, among other conditions. The most obvious daytime sign of sleep apnea is constant fatigue and a feeling of not getting a good night's sleep.During a sleep apnea episode, a patient will temporarily stop breathing. They may gasp for air, and experience semi-awakening, which can disrupt their sleep and keep them from getting the deep, restorative sleep they need to feel refreshed and awake during the daytime hours. The combination of oxygen deprivation and sleep deprivation is dangerous and can cause individuals to fall asleep while driving a car or during other daytime activities, putting their lives at risk.
