Frequent Questions about Sleep Apnea in Columbia, SC
-
What causes sleep apnea?
Mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea develops when the soft tissue in your throat relaxes during sleep, blocking your airways and cutting off the oxygen supply to your brain. As a result, breathing stops for abnormal periods of time, and if left untreated, can result in serious health risks including:
- High blood pressure
- Cardiovascular disease
- Memory problems
- Weight gain
- Muscle pain
-
How can Dr. Griffin help?
The common medical solution is to wear the “Continuous Positive Airway Pressure,” also known as the CPAP machine. However, the CPAP machine often provides more problems than solutions because of its inconvenient, cumbersome qualities.
At WildeWood Aesthetic Dentistry, we work in partnership with your sleep physician to treat your sleep apnea. We provide SomnoMed – a custom-made orthotic that comfortably positions your jaw forward while you sleep, optimizing the flow of air through your nose and mouth. Dr. Griffin has personally tested multiple orthotic appliances to determine a comfortable and efficient treatment for all of our patients.
