Sleep Apnea - There IS a solution!

Sleep Apnea is a potentially serious disorder that occurs when a person’s breathing repeatedly stops and starts again while sleeping. Symptoms of sleep apnea are loud snoring and feeling tired even with a full night’s sleep. The risk factors can be elevated if not treated. Affleck Dental can help you with this.

Some mild cases of sleep apnea may be cured by losing weight or quitting smoking. However, moderate to severe cases of sleep apnea may require additional therapy in order to relieve the obstruction on the air passage way. A CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine is one very successful way to help. The CPAP delivers air pressure through a mask placed over your nose while you sleep. The air pressure is just enough to keep your upper airway passage open so as to prevent apnea and snoring and help you get a full night’s rest.

We understand that sleeping with a CPAP may bring back memories of you sleeping in your head gear – but as you remember – you most like got used to that as well. If your CPAP is uncomfortable or perhaps not working correctly, don’t give up so easily! It may simply require some adjustments to obtain a comfortable and secure fit. There are a variety of mask types for different people and Affleck Dental will work to make sure you have the right one.  For a free consultation, you can call Affleck Dental at 801-782-5010 and get a full night’s sleep in no time!
