<h2 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">Sleep Apnea and Airway Dentistry</h2>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>Airway dentistry is an emerging branch of dentistry that focuses on a patient’s oral structure and how it affects breathing. Airway dentists search for signs of sleep-disordered breathing by searching for any abnormal oral development, such as tongue position, tooth wear, and extra tissues in the back of the throat. This form of dentistry can help diagnose and treat patients with upper airway resistance syndrome and various types of sleep apnea, especially obstructive sleep apnea.</p>
<p><a title="Read more about Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS)" href="https://stanfordhealthcare.org/medical-conditions/sleep/upper-airway-resistance-syndrome.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-How-Complete-Health-Dentist-Treats-Sleep-Apnea">Both upper airway resistance syndrome and obtrusive sleep apnea</a> involve the relaxation of the throat’s soft tissue. This reduces the size of the airway, resulting in disturbed sleep and daytime impairment. Though airway obstruction symptoms depend on its exact cause, typical signs involve agitation, confusion, cyanosis (bluish-colored skin), difficulty breathing, gasping for air, panic, high-pitched breathing noises, and unconsciousness. Most sleep-disordered breathing is caused by resistance in the airway.</p>

<h2 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">Understanding Sleep Apnea</h2>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>There are several kinds of sleep apnea, but obstructive sleep apnea is the most common. In this condition, something <a title="Read more about Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)" href="https://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/sleep-apnea/understanding-obstructive-sleep-apnea-syndrome#1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-How-Complete-Health-Dentist-Treats-Sleep-Apnea">blocks (or obstructs) part or all of the patient’s upper airway</a> while they sleep. This forces the diaphragm and chest muscles to overcompensate to pull air into the lungs. As a result, the patient’s breathing may become very shallow or even briefly stop altogether. When the patient eventually begins to breathe again, they may experience a loud gasp, snort, or body jerk.</p>
<p>Since this condition is only observable to an outsider, many patients may mistakenly believe that they are only suffering from poor sleep. However, sleep apnea symptoms often take a toll on the mouth and jaw, making it possible for total health dentists to recognize the condition. Common signs of sleep apnea include worn tooth surfaces, receding gums, increased cavities, a small jaw, scalloped edges on the tongue, or redness in the throat. Dentists may recommend patients with these telltale signs to partake in a sleep study, as only medical doctors can make an official sleep apnea diagnosis.</p>

To use oral appliances, patients must first have impressions taken of their teeth and return for a fitting at a later appointment. Depending on their situation, some patients may need to undergo another sleep test while wearing the device to ensure that it is in working order. Since these devices do not require any electricity, they are relatively unobtrusive and travel-friendly. However, they may require further office visits for any necessary adjustments.</p>
<p>Patients who require more advanced treatment may want to consider continuous positive air pressure (CPAP) machines or surgery. As these treatments are more involved, they may require a referral to a sleep specialist. No matter how serious the case, University Dental Associates can help patients determine the right treatment for them.</p>

<h2 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">Sleep Apnea and Systemic Health</h2>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>Sleep apnea is one of the most well-known and most common sleep disorders affecting Americans today. Though its exact cause is still unknown, some experts argue that it <a title="Read more about Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is a systemic disease" href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18848171/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-How-Complete-Health-Dentist-Treats-Sleep-Apnea">should be classified as a systemic disease</a>. This is due primarily to the undeniable presence of intense local and systemic inflammation and the various phenomena associated with the disorder (including modifications in the autonomic nervous system).</p>
<p>Furthermore, it is possible that obstructive sleep apnea may increase the risk of developing some features of metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome refers to a cluster of cardiovascular risk factors. Patients with obstructive sleep apnea are already at an increased risk for vascular events, which have the highest morbidity and mortality rates of all associated complications. As such, it is safe to say that sleep apnea is often more serious than it first seems.</p>

<h2 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">Ideal Candidates for Airway Dentistry</h2>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>Virtually anybody can benefit from airway dentistry. If left untreated, airway-involved sleep disorders can have disastrous effects on a person’s oral health, feelings of restfulness, and overall well-being. An airway dentist can help look for signs of such disorders and, in mild to moderate cases of sleep apnea, help treat them with recommendations for lifestyle changes, oral devices, and referrals to specialists when necessary.</p>
<p>Sleep apnea can affect patients of any age, including children. Furthermore, of all pediatric physicians, <a title="Read more about Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Children" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3304178/#sec1-4title" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-How-Complete-Health-Dentist-Treats-Sleep-Apnea">dentists are most likely to identify</a> the abnormal tonsil growth that often causes obstructive sleep apnea. Accordingly, regular dental checkups can help catch and treat children’s sleep apnea before it has the chance to become problematic. As obstructive sleep apnea often comes with significant developmental concerns, early detection is critical.</p>

<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Can sleep apnea be cured?</span></p>

<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Unfortunately, as of yet, there is no known cure for sleep apnea. However, University Dental Associates can help you minimize and manage its symptoms so that you can live a more comfortable life.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Is snoring always a sign of sleep apnea?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">No. Snoring is very common and can occur in anyone. However, if your snoring is severe enough to wake you from your sleep, it may be a sign of sleep apnea. Snoring associated with sleep apnea is generally louder, deeper, and more consistent than "normal" snoring. Those with sleep apnea may also experience choking, gasps, or pauses in between snores.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Are there any risk factors associated with sleep apnea?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Approximately half of those affected by sleep apnea are overweight. Sleep apnea is more common in men than in women and in older persons than in younger persons. However, children with enlarged tonsils are also at risk.</span></p>

<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Is sleep apnea hereditary?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">At least one study has found that snoring runs in families. Though snoring is not a cause of sleep apnea, it is one of its key symptoms. Additionally, individuals may inherit narrow airways or be genetically predisposed to have excess tissues in the airway. As such, there is a hereditary component to sleep apnea.</span></p>
