Sleep Apnea and Snoring

Snoring is No Laughing Matter!

Just about everyone snores occasionally. The big question is: how often and does it affect the quality of your sleep and your life in general. Poor sleep can lead to daytime fatigue, irritability, poor behavior, and increase health problems. Coker Cosmetic & Family Dentistry has a solution for a good night's sleep and sweet dreams.

When snoring leads to disruption in your daily life, you might suffer from sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is when the airway becomes completely blocked and the person temporarily stops breathing. An apnea event can last for a few seconds to a couple of minutes or more. Events may happen frequently – even several hundred times a night.

Therefore, snoring could be much more than an aggravation for your partner. Making your partner happy by taking action to help with snoring is one benefit but evaluating the snoring problem could lead to better overall health.

There are many effective treatments for snoring. A widely accepted treatment is oral appliance therapy. An oral device custom fit by your dentist is designed to keep your airway open and help prevent apneas.

Dr. Coker offers a FREE evaluation of your snoring problem. Should you decide you need an oral appliance, the staff will design your custom-fit appliance and work with you to ensure you are sleeping soundly.
