Sleep Apnea Santa Clarita, CA

These sporadic pauses in breath can last for up to 10 seconds and sometimes even longer.  When there is an inadequate amount of oxygen reaching the brain, a spike in heart rate and blood pressure can occur.  Not being able to have a restful sleep can leave you feeling tired and drowsy during the entire day.  However; changing certain lifestyle habits and maintaining a balanced nutritious diet is a simple way to help alleviate sleep apnea symptoms.  For more challenging cases, your dentist may recommend being fitted for an oral appliance that resembles a retainer.  Sometimes surgery may even be performed to correct the problem.  Your dentist will asses your condition and recommend what course of treatment is best for you.
