Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder that affects millions of Canadians, often without them even realizing it. It can lead to a range of serious health issues, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and daytime fatigue. At Bloom Dental Wellness, we understand how crucial a good night’s sleep is for your overall health and well-being. That’s why we offer comprehensive sleep apnea treatments tailored to your needs.
Understanding Sleep Apnea
Before diving into our treatment options, it’s essential to understand what sleep apnea is. This condition occurs when your breathing is interrupted during sleep, leading to fragmented sleep and decreased oxygen levels in your blood. The most common type is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which happens when the throat muscles relax excessively during sleep, blocking the airway.
Symptoms of Sleep Apnea
If you or someone you know is experiencing the following symptoms, it may be time to seek a professional evaluation:
- Loud snoring
- Gasping or choking during sleep
- Excessive daytime sleepiness
- Difficulty concentrating
- Morning headaches
- Irritability or mood changes
