What is Dental Sleep Medicine?
Dental sleep medicine treats sleep-related breathing disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), through oral appliance therapy. These custom-fit oral appliances are designed to reposition the jaw & tongue to keep the airway open during sleep, promoting uninterrupted breathing and reducing symptoms associated with sleep apnea.
Common sleep breathing disorders include:
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea
- Snoring
- Central Sleep Apnea
- Child Sleep Apnea
- Infant Sleep Apnea
- Sleep-Related Groaning
Benefits of Dental Sleep Medicine Treatment:
- Comfortable : Custom-made oral appliances are comfortable to wear and easy to adjust, promoting better compliance and treatment success.
- Improved Sleep Quality : Dental sleep medicine can help you achieve restful, uninterrupted sleep by effectively managing sleep apnea symptoms.
- Enhanced Overall Health : It can help reduce the risk of stroke, high blood pressure, and heart disease.
Importance of Healthy Sleep for Your Well-being
Quality sleep is crucial for your health & normal functioning. Your body needs sleep as much as it needs food & air. Sleep allows your body to heal itself & restore its chemical balance. If you are not getting enough sleep, your body and mind will not be able to function correctly, and you will see a negative impact on your overall health. Sleep deprivation contributes to several problems, including:
- Issues with the digestive system
- Daytime drowsiness and excessive sleepiness
- Problems with the central nervous system & immune system
- Anxiety, depression, and mood changes
- Hormone production
- Poor balance
- Impaired short- and long-term memory
- Weight gain
- Difficulty concentrating
