TREATMENT OF SLEEP APNEA BY DR MICHAEL SAVOIA
SLEEP APNEA BY DR. MICHAEL SAVOIA
OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA OCCURS WHEN THE AIRWAY COMPLETELY COLLAPSES BLOCKING AIRFLOW INTO THE LUNGS. THE HARDER ONE TRIES TO BREATH, THE TIGHTER THE AIRWAY SEALS. THIS AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION PERSISTS UNTIL THE BRAIN PARTIALLY AWAKENS THE PERSON. UNCONSCIOUSLY, HE/SHE WILL CLOSE THE JAW RETURNING THE TONGUE AND THROAT TO A NORMAL POSITION.
THE SLEEP APNEA CYCLE- FALLING ASLEEP, JAW RELAXING, AIRWAY COLLAPSING, UNCONSCIOUSLY AWAKENING WITH A GASP, FALLING BACK ASLEEP- CAN REPEAT ITSELF 50 OR MORE TIMES PER HOUR DURING THE NIGHT. WITH A BLOCKED AIR PASSAGE, ONE DOES NOT RECEIVE ENOUGH OXYGEN. BOTH THE AWAKENINGS AND OXYGEN DEPRIVATION CAN THEN TRIGGER OTHER HEALTH PROBLEMS.
THERE IS A NEW SOLUTION AVAILABLE TO THOSE WHO SNORE OR HAVE SLEEP APNEA. AN ORAL APPLIANCE SIMILAR TO AN ATHLETIC MOUTH GUARD THAT IS WORN WHILE SLEEPING. DEVELOPED WITH ADVANCED DENTAL TECHNOLOGY, ORAL APPLIANCES REDUCE SLEEP APNEA ASSOCIATED HEALTH RISKS WITHOUT THE NEED FOR SURGERY, MEDICATION, OR OTHER MORE CUMBERSOME THERAPY.
