TREATMENT OF SLEEP APNEA
Sleep apnea is a common problem that affects the majority of the population and is frequently ignored. Apnea generally goes in hand with snoring. Since the person cannot breathe properly and intake enough oxygen, they can gain weight and heart diseases may occur. Besides, because the quality of sleep reduces, insomnia, nervousness, lack of motivation, polyuria, sweating, reflux, tiredness, clumsiness, and even accidents can be experienced.
Some of the reasons for apnea are
- Excessive weight
- Nasal obstruction
- Hormonal changes
The first thing to do in the treatment of apnea is to do polysomnography which is a sleep study. This test is done to find out the level of apnea during sleep. And according to the level, CPAP, which is a machine that delivers air pressure, is used. Or some cases can be fixed with surgery. But if apnea is low and when the patient cannot tolerate the use of CPAP, dentists help to solve the problem. With the help of the oral appliances designed by the dentist, snoring decreases and because the level of oxygen intake increases, the complaint of the patient reduces.
