Do you have a spouse or loved one that complains about your snoring? Do you wake up in the middle of the night gasping for air?

Your Clemmons dentists want you to know you are not alone, there is a solution, and wants to help you get the restful sleep you deserve. Read on to learn about what sleep apnea is and how we can treat it. If you have any questions, our team at Greenway Village Dental is happy to answer them.
Getting restful sleep every night is a crucial part of your daily health. Although snoring may seem harmless, it indicates your breathing is obstructed and may be a sign of sleep apnea. However, it’s important to note that if you snore occasionally, it does not necessarily mean that you have sleep apnea.
If the soft tissues of the mouth and throat become too relaxed (this happens involuntarily), they can form an obstruction and restrict airflow. The result is snoring, difficulty breathing at night, frequent urination during the night, and poor quality of sleep. Some research has even shown that sleep apnea increases the risk of a heart attack.
