​Understanding Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a condition where your breathing repeatedly stops during sleep. This can be caused by a blocked airway or disrupted signals from the brain.
Each pause in breathing briefly wakes you up to restart airflow, interrupting your sleep cycle. Over time, this can lead to poor sleep, daytime fatigue, and increased strain on your heart. At Niagara Falls Dental Clinic, we work with local sleep specialists to help diagnose and treat sleep apnea using comfortable, effective dental solutions.
​Sign & Symptoms of Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea often goes undiagnosed, but recognizing the symptoms is key to getting the help you need. Common signs include:
Frequent waking during the night
Breathing pauses during sleep
Irregular breathing patterns
Loud or chronic snoring
Waking up gasping or feeling short of breath
Daytime fatigue or waking up feeling unrefreshed
Snoring Affects More People Than You Think
According to some studies, 24% of men and 18% of women suffer from snoring. Also, 60% of men and 40% of women over the age of 60 snore (female snoring increases after menopause).
Some Stanford University sleep researchers found that 75-80% of the patients they see, that are concerned with snoring, are diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. A CAA official stated that as many as 50,000 auto accidents happen in Canada as a result of sleepy drivers; many of which suffer from obstructive sleep apnea.
