A SLEEP APNEA DIAGNOSIS: A TRUE LIFE-SAVER

Many people suffering from sleep apnea in Barrie believe their condition is a quality of life issue and nothing more. However, sleep deprivation is not the most significant threat sleep apnea poses to you.

In certain circumstances sleep apnea can be life-threatening. Fortunately, diagnosis treatment at Chapnick Dental Office can stop the threat.

Sleep apnea puts you at increased risk of:

• Heart disease
• Heart attack
• High blood pressure
• Depression
• Sudden death

You don’t have to eliminate these beverages from your diet, but you can alter the frequency of intake and the method. Instead of a daily cup of tea in the morning, switch to every other morning or just on certain days. Use a straw that will bypass your teeth and deliver your favorite beverage farther into your mouth. After your morning coffee, brush your teeth or swirl water in your mouth. And, keep your regular dental appointments for cleanings to fight stains and discolorations, as well as tooth decay.

Obviously, then, it’s important to get your sleep apnea diagnosed as soon as possible. At Chapnick Dental Office we’ll answer all of your sleep apnea questions and examine you to determine if you are suffering from this condition.

If you are, we can treat you with sleep apnea appliances that will hold your jaw forward while you sleep and keep your airway unobstructed.

Not only can we restore you to your restful, uninterrupted sleep, we can prevent the sleep apnea-induced development of serious, life-threatening medical conditions.
