Recent research indicates that snoring can be more than annoying - it can be an indication of a life threatening condition- obstructive sleep apnea. Do you wake up during the night gasping for breath? Does your partner tell you that they watch you as you stop breathing , awaiting your next breath? Do you wake up exhausted? Do you find yourself falling asleep during the day? More signs of this condition...

• Occasionally waking up gasping or choking sensation

• Recurrent awakenings or insomnia

• Forgetfulness, mood changes or a decreased interest in sex

• Walking up with a very sore or dry throat

• Morning headaches

In some cases, a dental appliance worn at night, can be a vital tool in helping to treat this situation. Call us to find out more 303-443-4417
