Understanding Sleep Apnea
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) occurs when the muscles at the back of your throat relax excessively, causing a temporary collapse of the airway and leading to breathing pauses. These interruptions can happen multiple times per hour, often resulting in fragmented sleep and decreased oxygen levels.
Innovative Treatment Options at Dakota Dental
While Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy is a common treatment for sleep apnea, many patients find it uncomfortable or challenging to use consistently. At Dakota Dental and Wellness Center, we offer alternative solutions, including custom-made oral appliances designed to keep your airway open during sleep.
