Sleep apnea In Pleasanton, CA

Have you recently discovered that your raucous snoring is due to sleep apnea? This common sleep disorder causes a person to stop breathing, or to produce shallow breaths, throughout the night. This reduces the amount of oxygen that reaches the brain and can lead to some serious health problems if not properly treated. If you’ve been diagnosed with a mild to moderate form of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), your treatment could lie in the hands of our Pleasanton, CA, dentist Dr. Jeffery Teutsch.

How Our Dentists Treat Sleep Apnea

When people find out that they have obstructive sleep apnea they may hear that CPAP is one of the most common ways to treat this sleep disorder; however, it isn’t the only option. Our sleep apnea dentists have helped many patients manage their sleep apnea symptoms with oral appliance therapy.

An Oral Appliance, Huh? How Does it Work?

An oral appliance is a plastic custom-made device that is similar to a mouthguard or retainer that covers the upper and lower teeth. It holds the jaws in a slightly forward position, keeping the airways open to prevent snoring and to make sure the patient can breathe normally throughout the night. This device only has to be worn while sleeping.

The Benefits of Oral Appliance Therapy

One of the major benefits of oral appliance therapy is that it’s extremely comfortable and convenient. All you have to do is put in your oral device every night before bedtime. It’s easy to wear and care for, very portable (particularly compared to CPAP equipment) and fits into your lifestyle. While oral appliance therapy is used to treat obstructive sleep apnea it can also treat snoring that isn’t caused by this sleep disorder. If you are committed to wearing your oral appliance every night you will notice dramatic relief from your symptoms within a few days.
