Sleep apnea is a serious condition during sleep where the airway becomes blocked, preventing breathing. A serious sleep apnea condition is obstructive sleep apnea, where you go without air for minutes, several times a night. Any form of sleep apnea is harmful to your organs, brain function and overall health.

There are several therapies for sleep apnea. Oral appliance therapy is what Dr. Harold will be offering in 2011, after completion of his sleep disorder courses from LVI. Oral appliance therapy refers to a night guard that is worn on teeth to position jaws to remain comfortably open. When you have maximum air flow, you are at much less risk for dangerous sleep apnea episodes. Snoring is greatly reduced as well!

Here are some common symptoms of sleep apnea for you and/or your partner to be aware of:

• Feeling sluggish, restless or sleepy throughout the day, on a regular basis
• Headaches or discomfort upon waking
• Dry throat and mouth
• Snoring on a regular basis
• Forgetfulness

If someone you live with notices your breathing stop during sleep, you should seek the help of your regular physician and/or a sleep physician. Dr. Harold is an amazing dentist providing oral appliance therapy for Raleigh sleep apnea treatment, and he will work with other physicians to provide a comprehensive team approach for your best health.
