Snoring Could Be a Sign of Sleep Apnea—Protect Your Health with Expert Evaluation

A noisy sleeper risks far more than simply annoying their partner. Snoring can be a sign of a struggle to get enough oxygen at night.

Snoring is a common symptom of sleep apnea, a breathing disorder in which a person stops breathing for many seconds during sleep. That pause causes oxygen levels in the sleeper’s blood to drop and that results in stress and inflammation.

Oxygen-deprived sleep contributes to a long list of serious health conditions like:

  • Depression
  • Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid)
  • Diabetes
  • Heart disease
  • Migraines
  • Fatigue
  • Hyperactivity in children
  • Behavior or learning problems
  • Obesity

For patients with sleep apnea, we create a custom oral appliance to improve breathing and oxygenation while sleeping. That can be the start of more restful, healthful sleep every night.
