Signs to look for

Snoring Is Not Always Harmless

During sleep, the muscles of the throat relax. In obstructive sleep apnea, the airway narrows or closes again and again through the night, briefly interrupting your breathing and your sleep.

Because it happens while you are asleep, a partner often notices it first. Your dentist can also spot signs, such as grinding or a narrow airway, during a routine exam.

Common signs of sleep apnea

  • Loud snoring most nights
  • Waking up gasping or with a dry mouth
  • Daytime tiredness even after a full night in bed
  • Morning headaches
  • Difficulty concentrating or irritability
  • A partner notices pauses in your breathing

Why it matters

What Happens When the Airway Narrows

Poor sleep affects much more than how rested you feel.

  1. 1

    Interrupted Sleep

    Repeated breathing pauses keep you from deep, restful sleep.

  2. 2

    Jaw Position

    When the lower jaw and tongue fall back, they can narrow the airway.

  3. 3

    Grinding at Night

    Grinding and clenching are common in people with a restricted airway.

  4. 4

    Overall Health

    Untreated sleep apnea affects energy, mood and long-term health.

Sleep Apnea Questions

Still have a question? Our team is happy to help.

Can a dentist treat sleep apnea?

Dentists trained in dental sleep medicine can provide custom oral appliance therapy for snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. Diagnosis comes from a sleep study, and we coordinate with your physician.

Is an oral appliance an alternative to CPAP?

For many patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, a custom oral appliance is a comfortable alternative. Your doctor and our dentists will help decide what is right for you.

Do I need a sleep study?

Yes. A sleep study confirms whether you have sleep apnea and how severe it is. We can help coordinate this with your doctor or a sleep clinic.

Is all snoring sleep apnea?

No, but loud snoring most nights, especially with gasping, breathing pauses or daytime tiredness, is worth checking.

Will my insurance help cover an oral appliance?

Some extended health plans include coverage for oral appliances when sleep apnea is diagnosed. We are happy to help you check your plan.
