Understanding The Hazards

The signs of sleep apnea in Pleasant View could mean serious health risks

We understand that most people who experience loud snoring at night don’t expect it to be related to a serious medical condition, and it is common for these individuals to go without seeking any professional evaluation. However, this can indicate a very serious condition called sleep apnea, a disorder that usually involves uncontrollable breathing obstructions in the throat and nasal cavities, which can cause dangerous drops in blood oxygen levels and an increase in cardiovascular strain, even including a heightened chance of experiencing a heart attack. Not every individual that snores is a victim of sleep apnea, but if this symptom is paired with pauses in breath, gasping for air, and chronic fatigue during daytime hours, it is highly recommended that you seek a professional examination right away. If you are living with a roommate or sleeping partner, take the time to ask them the severity of your snoring. In some cases the extremity of this effect can cause severe morning headaches and dry or sore throat. It is necessary for our patients to receive a diagnosis from their physician, usually done during a sleep study, in order to receive an effective treatment plan from our qualified dentist.

"He’s The Best Out There"

“I’ve been going to Dr. Scoville for four or five years now. He makes me feel really comfortable. I’m not nervous or anything. The dentist is a scary thing for me. He’s more like my friend. I think he’s the best out there and I’d recommend him to anyone.”

How Do We Treat Sleep Apnea?

At Lomond View Dental, we provide a number of treatment options for sleep apnea in Pleasant View

At Lomond View Dental, we highly recommend receiving a proper diagnosis for sleep apnea from your physician during a sleep study. Once diagnosis is completed, we are able to provide a number of extremely helpful solutions that can assist in a better night’s sleep, and a dramatically reduced level of risk for various related health concerns. One of our options involves a custom designed oral device that can be provided to patients, allowing them to open their throats more widely during sleep and dramatically decreasing the amount of obstruction while breathing at night. This option is typically much easier to use than a traditional CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine, which can be extremely bulky and inconvenient to fall asleep with while using. We can provide a wide range of different oral devices to our patients, taking the time to find the perfect fit in order to once again regain a comfortable night’s sleep. Once the device has been put into use, our dentist will be sure to regularly check-up on the results, making any adjustments that might be needed during follow-up appointments until complete satisfaction is achieved.

"We Want You To Rest Peacefully"

Talk to your physician about diagnosing sleep apnea in Pleasant View

"We require our patients to undergo a sleep study with their physician and properly diagnose sleep apnea before proper treatment can begin. However, once this process has been achieved we have a number of beneficial tools to assist patients in regaining their ability to get a good night’s rest and reduce the risk of numerous dangerous health risks. If you are in the presence of a roommate or sleeping partner during the evening hours, I recommend that you seek their feedback on your sleeping habits in order to provide a more definitive description to your physician before a sleep study is done. This will further allow for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment recommendations throughout the process. Once you are fully prepared to receive top quality sleep apnea treatment in Pleasant View, be sure to give us a call right away and we will work towards a solution together."
