The Consequences of Sleep Apnea

Are you struggling to find energy throughout the day? Do you wake up feeling tired and unrested? Obstructive sleep apnea is a common condition, especially among men, that can sometimes go undiagnosed, as it occurs during sleep. Along with daytime fatigue, sleep apnea can have other symptoms, in addition to being a serious medical condition. If you think you may be suffering from sleep apnea, we encourage you to visit our office for a consultation. Properly treating sleep apnea not only helps you receive the restful sleep you need to function during the day, but can lower the risk for more serious health conditions from developing.

Conquer Sleeplessness With Innovative Solutions

Though the most common treatment option for sleep apnea is the CPAP machine, most patients discover that it is invasive and bulky. For patients who are CPAP intolerant, we offer different types of oral appliances. These mouth guards are made of the highest quality and are custom-fit to your mouth. Oral appliances help keep the lower jaw in a forward position during sleep to help keep airways open, minimizing snoring and pauses in breathing. Many patients find that these mouth guards are more comfortable, less invasive, minimize snoring, and help improve their sleep.

Sleep Restfully, Wake Rested

When sleep apnea is treated correctly, patients can experience great improvements on their quality of sleep, the restfulness they feel upon waking, and increased energy throughout the day. We take a conservative approach to your treatment, especially for those who know they are CPAP intolerant. With custom treatment, you can enjoy both a rested sleep and an energized day!

What is Sleep Apnea, and how does it affect oral health?
Sleep Apnea is a condition where breathing pauses during sleep, impacting oxygen intake. At North River Dental, we understand its connection to oral health. Untreated sleep apnea can contribute to gum disease, teeth grinding, and other dental issues. Our comprehensive approach includes assessing and addressing oral health concerns linked to sleep apnea for a holistic treatment plan.
Absolutely. At North River Dental in Ellenton, FL, our experienced team can play a crucial role in managing Sleep Apnea. Through custom-fit oral appliances, we aim to reposition the jaw and tongue to keep airways open during sleep. This non-invasive approach can provide significant relief, improving sleep quality and overall health. Consult with our experts to explore personalized solutions for your Sleep Apnea concerns.
Recognizing signs of Sleep Apnea is vital. Look out for loud snoring, sudden awakenings accompanied by a choking or gasping sound, and persistent daytime fatigue. Our team at North River Dental encourages early identification of these symptoms for a timely diagnosis and tailored treatment. Addressing Sleep Apnea promptly can prevent potential oral health issues and enhance your overall well-being.
Diagnosing Sleep Apnea involves a sleep study, usually conducted at a sleep center. North River Dental collaborates with specialists to facilitate the diagnosis process. If Sleep Apnea is suspected, our team will guide you through the necessary steps, ensuring a thorough examination. Early detection allows for timely intervention and the implementation of effective oral health strategies to manage Sleep Apnea.
Yes, oral appliances provided at North River Dental can be an alternative to CPAP machines. These custom-fit devices are designed to reposition the jaw, preventing airway obstruction during sleep. Unlike CPAP machines, oral appliances are more comfortable, portable, and easier to use. Our team will work with you to determine the most suitable treatment option based on your specific needs and preferences.
Untreated Sleep Apnea can have profound effects on dental health. North River Dental emphasizes the connection between Sleep Apnea and conditions like dry mouth, teeth grinding (bruxism), and an increased risk of gum disease. Our comprehensive approach not only addresses Sleep Apnea but also focuses on preventing and managing associated dental issues for optimal oral health.
Certainly. Lifestyle modifications play a key role in managing Sleep Apnea. At North River Dental, we advise patients to maintain a healthy weight, avoid alcohol and sedatives before bedtime, and establish a consistent sleep routine. Additionally, sleeping on your side can help prevent airway obstruction. Our team collaborates with patients to incorporate these changes alongside tailored dental interventions for comprehensive Sleep Apnea management.
Regular dental check-ups are crucial for individuals with Sleep Apnea. At North River Dental, we recommend biannual visits to monitor oral health, assess the effectiveness of treatment, and make necessary adjustments to oral appliances. Consistent follow-ups allow us to address any emerging dental issues promptly and ensure your overall well-being while effectively managing Sleep Apnea.
Yes, children can experience Sleep Apnea, and it can impact their oral health. North River Dental is experienced in assessing pediatric Sleep Apnea cases. Early intervention is key, as untreated Sleep Apnea in children may contribute to developmental and behavioral issues. Our team employs gentle and child-friendly approaches to diagnose and manage Sleep Apnea, prioritizing the overall health of our young patients.

What Our Patient’s Have To Say

To give you a beautiful and functional smile, Value Implants and Dentures utilizes the latest dental implant procedures and technology.

We moved to Florida several years ago and found North River Dental through a friend’s recommendation. We wanted a private practice with personal attention to our dental needs. We have been extremely happy with their services. The staff is always welcoming and efficient. Their friendliness and smiles always put you at ease before the upcoming treatments. My dental hygienist is gentle and thorough. I could not be happier with the results when she is finished! All the dentists have been great to deal with as well. We have recommended the practice to others and will continue to do so!

North River Dental is the best Dental office I have ever used. Starting with the moment you walk in the door Delia greets you by name and the entire staff treats you with a professional and personable attitude making you feel like family. The facility is very well kept and they utilize state of the art technology. The dental treatment and planning is excellent but what I personally feel makes them stand out is how you are treated by the entire staff. It is very refreshing in this day and age to be greeted with a smile and treated as an individual with individual needs as North River Dental does with every patient.

I am 18 years old, almost 19, I’ve been going here since I was in a car seat. They have the most welcoming staff ever and their schedule is very flexible to fit you in, if needed. I got My teeth cleaned last week And I recently just found I was having a baby, my dentist told me that I would be having a girl and that is to be determined, but definitely made me feel very comfortable while she shared her journey about her baby girl. Great staff 10/10 recommend!!:)

It is very rare that I find dental workers who are patient enough with me that I feel comfortable, yet I felt so comfortable here that I was able to cry (twice) in front of these people. I didn’t mean to (obviously), but it really goes to show the people here are so kind, caring, patient & understanding that they will do whatever is in their power to help. I have a maloclusion that makes me look like a monster & could really use dental implants to stop my jaw from shifting further backwards & my teeth from shifting further on top of each other, but cannot afford them. I was able to get xrays & a consult here, so I could get an idea of what needed to he done & what I could try to save for if I ever became financially stable. I was also able to get hope that I could one day look “normal” without having to have surgery to break my jaw & reset it. I may just need braces. I doubt I could ever afford them, but the news has set my hopes ablaze as that is MUCH more attainable than a major surgery & now I won’t stop trying! But I was *TERRIFIED* walking in. As in, *shaking* terrified. Which is normal for me & dentists. And yet… the way I was treated here made me feel safe. It made me feel cared about. It made me feel like I was okay. I gradually stopped shaking. I gradually stopped feeling so terrified. And I have genuinely wished I had the $ or insurance to return for literally anything dental related, as it is almost *impossible* for me to find a dental facility where I feel that way. From the front desk to the techs to getting the xrays done to the dentist & even in the office of the person who helps you figure out the brutal reality of the finances, *every* *single* *person* in that office was the most kind, patient, respectful, caring, gentle & genuine human being I could ever hope to encounter. If you need patience & a dental place that will actually care about you as a human being… this is your haven. Please consider them. Please give them a try. I really never thought I’d find another place that would treat me so well after I moved away from New Orleans and into a smaller area like this until I got the privilege of going to North River Dental. I wish I could truly convey how much it means to me that they took the time & put in the energy to help me relax because I really don’t have the words. I hope someone from that day sees this & maybe remembers me, even if it was a while ago. Thank you. It really makes a difference. 🩵
