What Is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder described by abnormal pauses in breathing or instances of abnormally shallow breathing, during sleep. Dr. Rosenberg treats patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) as individualized cases because the level of severity can range from moderate to severe.
What Causes Sleep Apnea?
People with (OSA) have an airway that is more narrow than normal, usually at the base of the palate and tongue. When lying flat, the palate is above the air passage. When the muscles of the throat relax the palate can fall backwards and this can cause obstruction of the airway.
What Can I Do?
Hillside Dental offers specialized treatment for patients suffering from chronic snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea. These conditions can be treated effectively with oral appliances that gently open your airway and reposition the lower jaw.
