Sleep Apnea Treatment

While snoring can certainly be annoying and can keep everyone in your home from getting a healthy night’s sleep, it is often an indicator of a condition known as sleep apnea, which can contribute to multiple problems for your general health. While only your primary care physician or a sleep doctor can diagnose you with this problem, our dentist can help you address it. Call (212) 262-2952 for an appointment with Dr. Angela Abernathy at Boutique Smiles of Manhattan to discuss sleep apnea treatments in New York, New York.

As a sleep disorder that causes irregular breathing during sleep, sleep apnea is most often a sign of an obstructed airway. Obstructions can be caused by the position of the jaw, flattened tissues in the throat while sleeping and blockage by the tongue. Sleep apnea can affect your quality of life and can contribute to medical conditions, such as high blood pressure and heart disease.



Some of the more common symptoms of sleep apnea are:

• Severe snoring
• Headaches when you wake
• Dry or sore throat
• Irritability
• Fatigue and the feeling of always being tired
• Difficulty sleeping

Our dentist and team collaborate with licensed physicians and recommend that you talk to your medical doctor for proper diagnosis before you receive treatment at our office. If you suffer from sleep apnea, we provide oral appliances to help open your airway while you sleep and lessen symptoms that can negatively affect your life. Your custom oral appliance can be fitted comfortably over your teeth while you sleep to help you have a good night’s rest.

We invite you to contact our dental office to learn more about sleep apnea treatments and see how we can help you sleep well, breathe easy and have a better quality of life.
