What is sleep apnea?
Sleep apnea is a situation, which causes repeated arrest and respiratory starts while one is asleep. The most common type of this condition is obstructive sleep apnea. This sometimes happens as soon as the muscle tissues in your taste buds, tongue, and throat calm down while you sleep, thereby blocking your airways, in turn causing choking noises or snoring.
Common signs of obstructive sleep apnea are stuffiness during sleep, dry mouth, morning complications, noisy breathing at night, daytime fatigue or sleepiness, and pauses in breathing during sleep. In addition to affecting the quality of your sleep and that of your companion, this situation can lead to more opposite health problems if left untreated.
What are the problems resulting from untreated sleep apnea?
Sleep apnea is like any other medical problem and is linked to various conditions including heart problems, depression, type II diabetes, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and liver problems. It can also affect the relationship with the family if extremely noisy night breathing affects the quality of their sleep.
How will a dentist treat sleep apnea?
Some dentists suggest mouth guards and different home dental equipment that can move the jaw forward to carry the tongue, thereby opening up your airways. Unfortunately, the tissues at the back of your mouth, including the tonsils, taste buds, and uvula, remain loose, impeding unrestricted airflow.
At Scott Younger, DDS, in-house sleep apnea specialist Dr. Zils offers patients a more comfortable laser treatment option for this condition; NightLase. This state-of-the-art treatment is simple, protected and effective for treating the soft tissues in a single person’s mouth, allowing you to breathe effortlessly.
How does NightLase work?
The NightLase process takes place over three appointments over two months. Dr. Zils uses a dual wavelength laser system to trigger the tissues of the mouth to provide extra elastin and collagen. This laser technology is rather gentle in the mouth but still effective in achieving the expected results of firming up the taste buds so that they don’t sag or obstruct your airways.
Additionally, NightLase helps shrink the uvula and tonsils, eliminating them from the airways. All three classes are comfortable, non-surgical, and only take half an hour. Because the process requires no downtime, patients can resume daily activities such as eating or eating instantly.
In conclusion, Dr. Scott Younger, DDS, is the provider of high quality dentistry in the Woodlands, Texas area. For those who struggle with sleep apnea and want to learn more about the purer, more effective NightLase process, call Scott Younger, DDS, or log on to schedule an appointment.
