Plus, a staggering 100 million people suffer from sleep apnea worldwide.\nWhen you think of this condition, you might think of periods of not breathing\nand large treatment masks that help patients sleep, but did you know there are\nactually three different types of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dolfielddental.com\/sleep-apnea-therapy.html\">sleep apnea<\/a>?\nRead on for the three forms, as well as common symptoms and where to find\ntreatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are The Three\nDifferent Types of Sleep Apnea?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)<\/strong>\n\u2013 Out of the three forms of sleep apnea, OSA is the most prevalent. This type\nof sleeping disorder is distinct due to an obstruction that prevents patients\nfrom inhaling and\/or exhaling properly. Common causes include fatty tissue in\nthe throat area, certain medications, and sleeping position. <\/li><li><strong>Central Sleep Apnea (CA)<\/strong>\n\u2013 For patients with CA, the brain neglects to signal the body to keep inhaling\nand exhaling. This causes patients to stop breathing, despite the fact that\nthere isn\u2019t anything blocking the airway. Neurological problems, certain\nmedications, and altitude are all common triggers of this form of sleep apnea. <\/li><li><strong>Mixed Sleep Apnea (MA)<\/strong>\n\u2013 For those who experience a combination of the above two conditions, they are\ndiagnosed with mixed sleep apnea. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7 Common\nSymptoms of Sleep Apnea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since sleep apnea occurs while patients are sleeping,\nit often goes undiagnosed for years. Unfortunately, this can lead to negative\nconsequences, like liver problems, high blood pressure, and medical\ncomplications. The good news is that being aware of the common symptoms can\nhelp patients get the early detection and treatment they need to restore their\nquality of life. Therefore, make sure to look out for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Loud snoring.<\/li><li>Morning headaches.<\/li><li>Waking up with a dry mouth or sore\nthroat.<\/li><li>Irritability and\/or mood changes.<\/li><li>Restless sleep. <\/li><li>Daytime drowsiness. <\/li><li>Problems with memory and\nconcentration.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where Can You\nFind Effective Treatment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although your first thought may be to speak with your\nprimary care physician, your dentist can help you get the effective treatment\nyou need to get a restful night\u2019s sleep. While the thought of sleep apnea\ntreatment may initially bring thoughts of a large face mask and machine, your\ndental team can forgo the hassle and provide you with a custom-made oral\nappliance instead. Not only is this a much more comfortable option for\npatients, but it also effectively treats the underlying issue so you can get the\nuninterrupted rest you need for the next day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the\nPractice <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Dolfield Dental, patients can expect high-quality\ndentistry and a comfortable atmosphere that is designed to provide world-class\ncare.
