Sleep Apnea and Snoring Solutions in Saint Charles, MO

For those who suffer from snoring and sleep apnea in the St. Charles area, we can help. Sleep apnea victims often snore loudly at night and wake up with headaches in the morning. They also may experience bouts of sleepiness throughout the day. This is caused by periods while you sleep when you stop breathing.

What is Sleep Apnea?

Each time you stop breathing is known as apnea. Apneas can last anywhere from a few seconds to nearly a minute. When you begin breathing again, the brain will sense that it needs oxygen and wake you up. This can also cause loud snoring.

What Causes Sleep Apnea?

During the night, sleep apnea victims’ upper air passages become obstructed. We offer sleep apnea appliances designed to keep these air passages open and help you get a good night’s rest.

When you wake up in the morning, the carbon dioxide build-up in the blood can cause headaches. Because you were denied deep sleep during the night, you will also experience drowsiness (and grumpiness, too).

Our sleep apnea appliances are comfortable and easy to use. If you would like more information on sleep apnea or sleep apnea appliances, please call Elm Dental Care today!
