When your loved ones start to bring up their concern over your loud or intrusive snoring, then it’s time to talk to your oral health team about your next steps. This could be a sign of chronic obstructive sleep apnea, which is a pretty common sleep disorder. According to current US estimates, about 30 million of us experience this condition on a nightly basis, and sleep apnea can contribute to some serious health conditions like stroke, heart attack and type 2 diabetes.
So, if you’re ready to take real sleep steps, Dr. James R. Stewart in Livonia, MI has solutions. Our office works with patients to find comfortable, convenient ways forward after a diagnosis of chronic obstructive sleep apnea through oral appliance therapy. This approach offers a quieter solution than traditional CPAP can offer, allowing people to ditch the masks and hoses. It all starts with a visit to your oral health team to discuss your symptoms and your options, so don’t put it off any longer.
