Stop Snoring and Get a Good Night’s Rest with Sleep Apnea Therapy from Dr. Davey in Sugar Land, TX

179694718Do you find it difficult to breathe at night? If you have nightly trouble with breathing or loud uncontrollable snoring, you may be suffering from sleep apnea.  Sleep apnea is a relatively common sleep disorder characterized by thunderous snoring, pauses in breathing, and shallow breaths during sleep. These breathing pauses can last from a few seconds to minutes, and may occur over thirty times per hour. Once normal breathing resumes a loud snort or choking sound can often be heard. Untreated sleep apnea can make a restful night’s sleep impossible. As a result of this poor sleep quality, you may become tired and less productive during the day. Sleep apnea can also lead to more serious medical issues. But you don’t have to suffer in silence. Make your sleep apnea therapy appointment with Dr. Davey today for the restful night’s sleep you need to stay healthy. Dr. Davey is an experienced sleep apnea doctor. Texas Got Smile delivers quality care daily throughout Sugar Land, TX, Houston, Richmond, Katy, and the surrounding communities.

Do You Have Sleep Apnea?

Although not everyone who snores has sleep apnea, the most common sign of sleep apnea is loud, incessant snoring, followed by pauses and choking or gasping sounds. The snoring is usually the loudest when you sleep on your back. Family members are often the first to notice these issues. You may not even be aware of the problems until a loved one points them out. Another common sign of sleep apnea is fighting sleepiness during the day, or being unable to focus or concentrate. You may also find yourself rapidly falling asleep during the quiet moments.

What Are Your Sleep Apnea Therapy Options?

  • CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure): CPAP is the most common treatment for sleep apnea in adults. CPAP uses a small face mask and a machine that gently blows air into your throat as you sleep. The pressure from the air helps keep your airway open. However CPAP treatment is not well tolerated by everyone. CPAP may cause side effects like stuffy nose, irritated skin, dry mouth, stomach bloating, and headaches.
  • Oral Appliance Therapy: For those who wish to avoid CPAP, Dr. Davey offers oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea relief.  An oral appliance is a custom-fitted plastic mouthpiece. The mouthpiece can be worn during sleep to adjust your lower jaw and tongue. This will keep your airways open while you sleep to gently relive your sleep apnea symptoms.

Dr. Davey Can Help with Your Sleep Apnea

 

 

There are very few things more frustrating than a bad night’s sleep. Sleeping is our body’s way of recharging itself and getting us prepared for the day’s future endeavors. Unfortunately, millions of people suffer from sleep apnea, a condition where you experience sleeping patterns that are disruptive and cause you to get little to no rest. Here at Texas Got Smile, we understand your problems, and Dr. Davey is here to put everything to rest.

What a lot of people don’t know is that there are a couple of different forms of sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea is where your soft palate collapses, causing you not to breath for ten seconds. There’s also central sleep apnea, and that’s when your brain forgets to tell your body to breath while it’s sleeping. When you come to see Dr. Davey about your sleep apnea concerns, he will begin with a thorough evaluation, and may even conduct a sleeping test. If it is determined you do suffer from sleep apnea, Dr. Davey may recommend Under Armour Mouthwear.

Under Armour Mouthwear works in many ways to help you get a good night’s sleep, one being that it opens your airway. When that happens, there is less of a buildup of lactic acid and increases Oxygen flow by veering your jaw forward. It also prevents your jaw from clenching and releasing Cortisol, a hormone that causes distraction, stress, and fatigue. Under Armour Mouthwear also absorbs the energy transmitted through your head when there’s an impact on the jaw. All of these features let you have a restorative, reenergizing night of sleep.

If you feel as though you suffer from sleep apnea, make an appointment with Dr. Davey, and he will be able to talk with you and get you set up for sleeping success.
