Sleep Apnea Treatment In Carlsbad, CA

Sleep Apnea Treatment in Carlsbad

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts throughout the night. It is potentially serious, and treatment is recommended. If you snore loudly and feel tired even after a full night’s sleep, you could have sleep apnea. A diagnosis usually will require a referral to a sleep disorder center, which will determine the need for further evaluation. Overnight monitoring may be held in order to make the diagnosis and move on to choosing the best method of treatment.

Sleep Apnea Treatment Near You

The most common and reliable method of treating sleep apnea is with CPAP, or continuous positive airway pressure, which is a machine that delivers air pressure through a mask during sleep. Though it is effective, it can be cumbersome or uncomfortable. Other airway devices are also available. A simple option for treating sleep apnea that can be provided by your dentist is oral appliances.

Oral Appliances for Sleep Apnea

Most oral appliances that aim to treat sleep apnea are designed to open the throat by bringing the jaw forward (called “mandibular repositioning dental appliances”), which can relieve snoring and mild obstructive sleep apnea. Others are “tongue retaining appliances.” Both reduce the chances of the tongue falling backward far enough to block the airway. Oral appliances can be easier to use than CPAP but are generally most effective at treating mild to moderate sleep apnea, rather than a severe case. These devices cannot be sold over-the-counter. Instead, they must be prescribed by a physician and fitted by a dentist, oral surgeon, or ENT who has sleep medicine experience.

I just had my first visit to this office and I was very pleased with the thoroughness of their evaluation. The office is very bright and clean and the staff and doctor were all very professional and friendly. They identified various areas that needed further evaluation and a follow up visit has been scheduled.

My first visit to DeAngelis Dentistry was a good one. The staff - receptionist, hygienist and dentist - were friendly and informative. The initial visit involved a review of previous dental treatment, complete imaging and a painless but effective cleaning. Future steps were discussed, to include a recommendation for a visit to a local periodontist. The practice appears to employ up-to-date technology and, as a recent Carlsbad resident, I’m pleased to have found this dental practice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is sleep apnea and how do I know if I have it?

Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. Common signs include loud snoring, gasping for air at night, morning headaches, dry mouth, and daytime fatigue. If you feel tired despite a full night’s sleep, an evaluation may be recommended.

Sleep apnea is typically diagnosed through a sleep study ordered by a physician. This may be completed at a sleep center or at home using a portable monitor. The study measures breathing patterns, oxygen levels, and interruptions in sleep to determine severity.

Yes. At DeAngelis Family Dentistry, we provide custom oral appliance therapy for patients diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. We work in coordination with your physician to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment planning before fabricating a dental sleep appliance.

Oral appliances are custom-made devices worn during sleep. They gently reposition the lower jaw forward to help keep the airway open. This reduces airway collapse, decreases snoring, and improves breathing throughout the night for appropriate candidates.

Yes. Untreated sleep apnea has been linked to high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and chronic fatigue. It can also affect concentration and mood. Seeking evaluation and treatment helps protect both your oral health and overall well-being.
