Can you get cured from sleep apnea?

While sleep apnea is a chronic condition that typically requires ongoing management, it can be effectively treated and managed with the right approach. Many individuals experience significant improvement in their symptoms and quality of life with appropriate treatment. At North Queen Dental, our goal is to provide you with the tools and support you need to manage your sleep apnea effectively and enjoy restful, rejuvenating sleep.

How do you fix sleep apnea naturally?

While some lifestyle modifications may help alleviate mild symptoms of sleep apnea, such as maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding alcohol and sedatives before bedtime, and sleeping on your side, these measures may not be sufficient for everyone. For those with moderate to severe sleep apnea, it's essential to seek professional treatment to effectively manage the condition and reduce the risk of complications. Our team can work with you to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and helps you achieve better sleep naturally.

What should I do if I think I have sleep apnea?

If you suspect that you may have sleep apnea, it's important to seek evaluation and treatment from qualified healthcare professionals. The first step is to schedule a consultation with our experienced team. During your consultation, we will conduct a thorough evaluation of your symptoms and may recommend a sleep study to diagnose sleep apnea. Once diagnosed, we will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs and preferences. Don't wait to address your sleep apnea symptoms—take the first step towards better sleep and improved health by contacting us today.

Oral appliances can help!

For many of our patients who suffer from sleep apnea, we prescribe an oral appliance called a mandibular advancement device. Also known as a dental sleep device, it is one of the most commonly used oral appliances. It looks like a sports mouthguard. Its function is to bring the lower jaw forward to help keep the throat muscles (which collapse during sleep apnea) tight, so that they can’t drop to obstruct your breath.

If you suspect you suffer from OSA, your first step is to call North Queen Dental at (647) 503-4939. We’ll do a thorough exam of your teeth, mouth, and jaw to determine whether you are a good candidate for a custom-fitted device.

While we create your appliance, you can do these things at home to get a jump on a good night’s sleep:

Create a relaxing pre-bedtime ritual – reading or meditation is ideal. Avoid computers, laptops, & smartphones.
Establishing regular sleep patterns – go to bed at the same time every night and get up at the same time every morning. Even on weekends and holidays.
Don’t nap.
Keep your bedroom cool.
Avoid heavy meals before sleep.
Limit alcohol.
Exercise – a 30-minute brisk walk each day, yoga classes, bike rides, or play your favorite sport (wear a protective mouthguard if there’s any chance of contact).

As a compassionate dentist in Etobicoke, we want you to get a good night’s sleep so that your days are productive, happy, and safe. We’re always here to help. New patients are always welcome too! Call (647) 503-4939 today!

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Treatment – A Recap

Apnea means not breathing.So sleep apnea means not breathing when you’re sleeping.
With obstructive sleep apnea, you may stop breathing for short periods of time.
Sometimes when you do breathe, you may not be getting a full breath of air.
Obstructive sleep apnea is more common in men than women, and the rate of those affected increases after the age of 65 (both genders) and for women after menopause.
Often people who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea wake up frequently during the night.
People who are at a higher risk of developing obstructive sleep apnea are those who…
- carry excessive weight
- have other family members who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea
- still have their tonsils and/or adenoids, especially if they’re enlarged
- a particular jaw structure (small or in a less-than-optimum position).
Symptoms include:
- loud snoring that can keep other family members or housemates awake
- gasping for air during sleep
- restless sleep
- interruptions in sleep – waking up throughout the night
- others noticing you’ve stopped breathing while sleeping
- excessive sleepiness and fatigue during the day
- foggy brain during the day
