Are You Getting the Rest You Need?

Do you keep someone awake at night with your snoring? Are you experiencing fatigue, sleeplessness, and even breathlessness during the day? These could be warning signs that abnormal breathing is happening while you sleep. Lack of quality sleep doesn't just affect you—it impacts your loved ones who endure the loud noise and worry about your health.

Understanding Sleep Disorders

Many dental and medical conditions can lead to snoring, including:

Being overweight
Having a small or retruded jaw
Using sedatives or consuming alcohol before bed
Allergies
Airway obstruction from enlarged tonsils or adenoids

However, studies show that snoring can often be a sign of a serious disorder called sleep apnea.

What Is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a condition in which your breathing stops periodically during sleep—as many as 20 to 30 times per hour. Each time you stop breathing, the resulting lack of oxygen alerts your brain, which temporarily wakes you up to restart proper breathing.

Since the time spent awake is so brief, most people with sleep apnea don't remember it. Many believe they're getting a good night's sleep when, in fact, they're not. This constant wake-sleep cycle prevents you from achieving deep, restorative sleep, leaving you feeling drowsy and fatigued throughout the day.

How We Can Help

At Hudson Dental Center, we understand how sleep disorders affect your quality of life. We offer comprehensive evaluation and treatment options, including custom oral appliances that gently reposition your jaw to keep your airway open while you sleep. These devices are comfortable, portable, and an effective alternative to CPAP machines for many patients.

If you or a loved one is struggling with snoring or sleep apnea symptoms, we're here to help you get the restful sleep you deserve.

Common questions

How do I know if I have sleep apnea?+

Common signs include loud snoring, gasping or choking during sleep, waking up with a dry mouth or headache, excessive daytime sleepiness, and difficulty concentrating. Your partner may notice you stop breathing during the night. If you're experiencing these symptoms, we recommend scheduling an evaluation.

Are oral appliances as effective as CPAP machines?+

For many patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea, oral appliances are highly effective and much easier to use consistently. They're quiet, portable, and comfortable. We'll help determine if an oral appliance is right for your specific situation.

Will my insurance cover sleep apnea treatment?+

Many medical insurance plans cover oral appliances for sleep apnea when prescribed by a dentist. We'll work with you to verify your coverage and help you understand your benefits.
