Sleep Apnea
Snoring can be more than just an annoyance to whoever shares your bed. In many cases, it’s a sign of obstructive sleep apnea, a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, and one that your dentist can play a direct role in treating. If a physician has diagnosed you with sleep apnea, or you’re struggling with a CPAP machine you can’t get used to, oral appliance therapy is worth understanding as an alternative or complement to other treatments.
Below, Dr. Molly Rodgers and her Edmonton team explain how sleep apnea oral appliances work, what the fitting process involves, and how dental sleep medicine fits into your broader treatment plan. These guides are written for patients across Mill Woods, Ellerslie, Summerside, and Beaumont who want to understand their options for quieter, safer sleep.
If snoring or sleep apnea is affecting your rest, book a consultation with our Edmonton dental sleep medicine team today.
