Why Is Sleep Apnea Dangerous?

Studies show that you are at higher risk for sleep apnea if: You are overweight, male, and over the age of forty. Although anyone is at risk and can suffer from sleep apnea, even children. Lack of knowledge and awareness in healthcare professionals, the majority go undiagnosed and untreated.

Untreated, sleep apnea can cause: Diabetes, high blood pressure and other cardiovascular disease, memory problems, weight gain, impotency, fatigue, decreased alertness, and headaches. Fortunately, sleep apnea can be diagnosed and treated. Here at The TMJ sleep Center we treat medically diagnosed sleep apnea.

After receiving a sleep study, which is directed by your physician, we can fabricate a custom dental appliance designed to treat Sleep Apnea. In our office we use the newest version of Sleep Appliance, available. The appliance holds the lower jaw forward, preventing the tongue and the soft tissue of the throat from collapsing into the airway.
