Sleep Apnea Treatment

Centreville, VA Dentist

Sleep apnea is a serious condition that causes a person to stop breathing during sleep. In some cases, you may stop breathing hundreds of times in one sleep cycle. If you think you may have sleep apnea, contact our office for a consultation.

Sleep apnea may be caused by genetics, poor posture, allergies, enlarged tonsils, and other issues. Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common form of sleep apnea. This is caused by airways in the throat and mouth collapsing during sleep. If you have obstructive sleep apnea you or your partner may notice:

Extended pauses in breathing during sleep
Loud snoring
Restless sleep
Serious daytime sleepiness
Irritability or personality change
Poor memory or concentration
Headaches
Weight gain
Depression

If left untreated, sleep apnea increases risks of:

Cancer
Cardiovascular disease
Diabetes
Hypertension
Stroke
Obesity
Other serious health complications

If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea, contact Contemporary Dentistry of Centreville for a consultation. Dr. Flores can provide you with effective treatment options to improve your sleep and your health.
