Sleep apnea is recognized as causing  many types of serious medical conditions.  Snoring is an indication that sleep apnea may be present.  I work closely with your physician to evaluate you for possible sleep apnea.  A CPAP device is an excellent treatment for sleep apnea, but is often not tolerated for a variety of reasons.  Dentist fitted mouth appliances can work either in combination with the CPAP device (to lower the strength of the air being forced into the lungs) or to totally eliminate the need for such a device.

A sleep study will show if you, in fact, do have sleep apnea, and will help determine your treatment options.
