Wake Up To A Brighter Day

If you struggle with your sleep, take the time to talk to your dentist about whether obstructive sleep apnea is holding you back. This common sleep disorder affects approximately 30 million Americans on a nightly basis, but the majority of these people opt to live with their troublesome snoring. That can be dangerous, however, as chronic obstructive sleep apnea can really increase your risk of experiencing heart attack, stroke, and more. But there are ways to have a better wake up experience!

With our friendly neighborhood team at Elm Creek Dental in Maple Grove, MN, you can take real steps to improve your sleep through oral appliance therapy. This innovative way to treat obstructive sleep apnea helps you to ditch the hoses and wires of traditional CPAP, instead using a simple adjustment of your jaw to keep your airway open throughout the night. So, if you’re tired of waking up tired, talk to our team about making a change with oral appliance therapy.

Experience a brighter day with effective, comfortable sleep apnea treatment. Call Elm Creek Dental today to schedule your next visit.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Can Become A Real Health Hazard

When your loved ones have started to bring up their worry over your loud snoring, they might actually have a point. This can be one of the primary symptoms of a condition called chronic obstructive sleep apnea, a common sleep disorder that affects millions of us in our country. Obstructive sleep apnea happens in your deepest form of rest, called REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, when your body can become a little too relaxed.

If your throat or palate prevents you from breathing properly, it can be a problem. Those with untreated obstructive sleep apnea are at an elevated risk of experiencing some serious issues like heart attack, stroke, and even type II diabetes. So, when you find yourself struggling with your sleep, talk to a professional.

Oral Appliance Therapy Offers A Quieter Form Of Treatment

Sometimes, people avoid seeking treatment for OSA because they don’t want to live with traditional CPAP. But if it’s the hoses and wires that are holding you back, ask our office about your options. With oral appliance therapy, we have a different way to wake up feeling refreshed.

Oral appliance therapy uses a slim mouthguard-like device, keeping the airway open through a simple adjustment of your jaw. With this approach, you can head off to the cabin without worrying about finding an outlet. And you can avoid the noise, mess, and hassle of a mask.
