Encinitas Dental Treatments for Sleep Apnea and Snoring

Refresh Your Smile With A Good Night’s Sleep

Snoring is not just a problem of nightly noise. Although it is loud and can disturb anyone trying to sleep nearby, snoring has more than social implications.

Chronic, loud snoring disturbs sleep interrupts oxygen flow and can therefore lead to fatigue and daytime drowsiness. This can be a real danger. Responses slow, memory difficulties can begin, performance and concentration at work and during driving can suffer.

But snoring can also indicate a more serious condition. If you are experiencing daytime sleepiness, chronic fatigue, morning headache, irritability, impaired memory or judgment and mood disturbance, more than sound may be disturbing you. Excessive snoring may indicate obstructive sleep apnea, a condition often caused by the tongue falling back into the throat and blocking the airway.
