If you’re constantly tired despite a full night’s rest, snore or grind your teeth, or deal with issues like sleep challenges, acid reflux, hypertension, or Type 2 Diabetes, along with feelings of anxiety and depression, there’s a chance that unnoticed sleep apnea could be the root cause. Sleep apnea, a significant sleep disorder that disrupts breathing during sleep, may be behind these challenges.
Left untreated, it not only causes fatigue but can significantly affect your overall health and potentially shorten your lifespan. It’s crucial to address these issues and seek proper care for a healthier and more vibrant life.
By being attentive to the signs of sleep apnea, you are actively contributing to the preservation of both your oral health and your overall well-being.
Sleep apnea can affect individuals of any age, but the risk of developing this condition significantly rises with age. That’s why it’s crucial to pursue treatment if you identify any symptoms.
During your consultation, Dr Lizette Barzaga DMD PA will conduct a screening for this sleep disorder. Upon diagnosis, she will provide recommendations for the most suitable approach to improve your sleep and safeguard your health.
When left untreated, sleep apnea can contribute to serious health problems like uncontrolled high blood pressure, stroke, myocardial infarction, uncontrolled diabetes, and Alzheimer’s. Dr. Lizette Barzaga DMD PA can explain the risks and create a personalized treatment plan to protect your health and improve your sleep.
Sleep apnea is a degenerative, cumulative, worldwide, but under-recognized condition. Testing barriers, stigma, and misdiagnosis all contribute to very low diagnosis rates. Despite nearly 1 billion people worldwide living with sleep apnea, the majority, an estimated 80–85% of people, are undiagnosed. Please don’t wait until irreversible symptoms appear to start treating your problems; call us for a consultation.
A custom oral appliance (also called a mandibular advancement device) is a small mouthpiece worn during sleep, which, by repositioning the jaw, the tongue moves forward, preventing airway collapse, and improves airflow → helping you breathe more easily through the night. It is an effective alternative to CPAP for mild and moderate obstructive apnea cases, more comfortable, convenient for long-term use without replacements, and patients are more likely to actually use dental appliances consistently, making them equally beneficial in real-life outcomes. Severe cases might need a combination of therapies and a specialist.
The frequency of follow-up appointments depends on the severity of your condition and the chosen treatment plan. Our specialist will establish a schedule based on your individual needs to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments.
