Some studies suggest that without it, we\u2019re more likely to be overweight, less successful at work and less healthy overall. Unfortunately, nearly 22 million Americans are suffering from a condition that seriously affects sleep &#8212; and 80 percent haven\u2019t had a proper diagnosis. Dr. Pamela West at Summerlin Center for Aesthetic Dentistry knows the importance of a good night\u2019s sleep, and she\u2019s the trusted, qualified dentist for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.topsummerlindentist.com\/sleep-apnea-summerlin.html\">sleep apnea therapy in Summerlin, NV<\/a>. Keep reading to find out more about sleep apnea and its treatment.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Treating Sleep Apnea Is Good for Your Health and Happiness<\/h2>\n<p>Sleep apnea frequently goes un- or misdiagnosed because its symptoms are similar to those of many other conditions. Unfortunately, relief can\u2019t be sought until a correct diagnosis is achieved. Learning the symptoms of sleep apnea can help you and your loved ones seek much-needed relief, so look out for the following warning signs.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Loud, chronic snoring<\/li>\n<li>Suddenly waking with a jerk or gasp<\/li>\n<li>Dry mouth or sore throat in the morning<\/li>\n<li>Daytime fatigue and other symptoms associated with poor sleep<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>If you or a loved one are suffering from any of the above symptoms and believe you may have the condition known as sleep apnea, don\u2019t hesitate to schedule an appointment for consultation with your trusted Summerlin dentist. Diagnosis and treatment are the only way to achieve a restful night\u2019s sleep again.<\/p>\n<h2>How Dr. Pamela West Treats Sleep Apnea for Summerlin Sufferers<\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to treating sleep apnea, Dr. West has the credentials and experience you can trust. She\u2019s a member of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, which is the leading organization for dentists treating snoring and obstructive sleep apnea with oral appliances &#8212; let\u2019s learn a little more about what that means.<\/p>\n<h2>Removable Oral Appliances for Sleep Apnea Treatment<\/h2>\n<p>Removable oral appliances are an excellent choice for treating sleep apnea. In the past, CPAP, or continuous positive airway pressure, was the standard choice. The CPAP is a bulky, loud, uncomfortable machine that Dr. West and other members of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine recognize just isn\u2019t the best solution for sleep apnea.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. West trusts removable oral appliances instead. You can think of these like the removable mouthguards athletes wear; they\u2019re small, comfortable devices you wear only while you sleep. Oral devices work by holding your tongue and lower jaw in place, keeping them from sliding back and blocking airflow during sleep.<\/p>\n<p>Patients who have sought sleep apnea treatment with Dr. West in Summerlin agree: oral devices give them their restful night\u2019s sleep back. And that\u2019s sweet relief.<\/p>\n<h2>Schedule Your Appointment for Sleep Apnea Treatment Today<\/h2>\n<p>If you or a loved one are suffering from the exhausting effects of sleep apnea, don\u2019t wait another day to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.topsummerlindentist.com\/request-an-appointment.html\">schedule your appointment<\/a> for consultation. Dr. West and the team at Summerlin Center for Aesthetic Dentistry will work hard to give you relief from sleep apnea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting enough sleep is a crucial for a fruitful life.
