Sleep apnea can interrupt breathing during sleep and leave people feeling tired despite a full night in bed. Recognizing the signs is the first step toward getting help.
Common Signs to Notice
Loud snoring, gasping during sleep, frequent waking, morning headaches, and daytime fatigue can all be signs worth discussing with a healthcare professional.
Why Treatment Matters
Untreated sleep apnea can affect quality of life and may be connected to wider health concerns. A proper diagnosis helps you understand the treatment options available.
How a Dentist May Help
For some patients, a custom oral appliance can help keep the airway open during sleep. Your dentist can work with your physician to determine whether it is appropriate.
