sleep apnea

waking up tired lancaster ohIf you find that you are nearly exhausted before lunchtime on a regular basis, it is time to talk to a sleep expert. This could be a sign of sleep apnea, and it can mean more than simply waking up tired. Chronic obstructive sleep apnea can contribute to a host of health problems, and some of these are even life-threatening. Apnea patients are at a significantly higher risk of heart attack and stroke, so it is important to take care of your sleep. With our team of oral health experts in Lancaster, OH, you have access to a more comfortable form of sleep apnea treatment. Some people avoid seeking care for their condition due to the noise and intrusion of traditional methods like CPAP machines, and our office completely understands that feeling. That's why we proudly offer oral appliance-based therapy, which gently repositions your jaw to keep your airway open throughout the night. Schedule a consultation with our team and discover the advantages of a better night of sleep!
