HOW YOUR DENTIST CAN STOP YOUR SNORINGT?

Many of our friends and family in Barrie have problems with snoring. A certain amount of snoring is normal and not troublesome. However, when your chronic, disruptive snoring is caused by sleep apnea, your problems extend beyond occasionally interrupting the sleep of your partner. You could suffer serious sleep deprivation and a host of other health problems.

Fortunately, the staff and dentists at the Chapnick Dental Office can treat your sleep apnea, address your snoring and restore to you the sleep you need.

Obstructive sleep apnea is caused when your airway becomes completely blocked during sleep. When that happens, your brain signals your body to wake up so you can breathe again. You’re often not even aware that this is happening, but by the end of the night it can cost you a lot of sleep.

We offer different types of sleep apnea appliances that can help relieve your condition. They include:

• SomnoDent MAS device: A comfortable and adjustable mouthpiece that positions your lower jaw forward during sleep.
• Thornton Adjustable Positioner®: The TAP is similar to the MAS device, but comes with a small key that lets you adjust the positioning of your lower jaw before sleep.

Both devices are custom made and will be fitted for your precise needs.

If you’re in the Barrie, Ontario area and you think you might be suffering from sleep apnea, please contact Chapnick Dental Office today.
