Treatment Options for Sleep Apnea
Restful sleep is important for good health. If you have sleep apnea, you may not be getting the quality sleep you need. In fact, sleep apnea can cause you to wake hundreds of times a night to reopen your airways, which can become obstructed by your oral tissues. Our expert in sleep apnea in Los Angeles offers a variety of sleep apnea treatments to help you improve your quality of rest.
After a comprehensive evaluation that considers your medical and dental history and your symptoms, we will make personalized recommendations for your needs. Treatment plants may include both oral appliances and lifestyle changes. The appliances are customized to fit your mouth and work by keeping your airways open as you sleep. Periodic adjustments may be needed. Oral appliances are extremely successful in people with mild to moderate sleep apnea.
Some patients may also benefit from lifestyle adjustments. We may recommend losing weight, increasing your daily exercise, adjusting your medications or cutting back on tobacco and alcohol. Lifestyle changes are intended to reduce risk factors that could be worsening or contributing to your condition.
