How Do We Treat Sleep Apnea?
- According to the severity of this condition, there are different approaches on how we can cure this. Some conditions may require an Oral Appliance, or sometimes a surgery if the condition has gone too far.
- First, we will recommend some lifestyle changes like quitting smoking and drinking. If you are overweight, we will suggest weight loss, or follow a healthy diet plan. Sometimes, losing around 10% of the total weight can add notable changings to the condition.
- If you have a mid-range of severity, you may need a continuous positive air pressure (CPAP) device that you have to wear while you are sleeping. This device will keep the airways open with Continuous Air Pressure.
- There are other types of Oral Appliances available to treat Sleep Apnea. We have a mouth guard that will stop the airways from blocking. This will keep your jaws and tongue in a stable place.
- If it's not treatable by any of these therapies, we will conduct a surgery. This will involve removing the excessive tissues from the throat to widen the windpipe.
