Sleep Apnea Treatment in Calgary, AB

Sleep apnea affects your breathing while you sleep. You may wake up frequently throughout the night and not even know it. Often, you will wake up the next day and not know why you are so tired.

Sleep apnea treatment from our prosthodontist in Calgary, Alberta, can help open your airways while you sleep. Devices similar to mouthguards may reduce how many times you wake up, so you feel more refreshed the next day.

About Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea occurs when your breathing repeatedly stops while you sleep. If you have this sleep disorder, you might snore loudly. You might also notice you wake up throughout the night, gasping for air. You could experience daytime sleepiness from not getting enough oxygen and waking up throughout the night as well. Also, you could experience difficulty paying attention when you are awake.

Diagnosing Sleep Apnea

If we suspect you may have sleep apnea, we will send you home with a small, easy to use, portable sleep apnea test that you will use in the comfort of your own home for two nights. Certified sleep specialists read the results of this test. If you are found to suffer from mild to moderate sleep apnea, you may be a perfect candidate for a sleep apnea guard.
