Sleep Apnea Treatment New York with Oral Appliances

Helping You Live Better

Thanks to sedation dentistry in New York, there is no reason to feel anxious at Upper East Dental Innovations PLLC. Let us know if you have dental anxiety so that we may prepare for your visit accordingly. For many people, the procedure itself is not uncomfortable; it is the anxiety and worry that cause distress. With this in mind, we often offer an oral sedative or laughing gas. While this is not a painkiller, it eases fear and relaxes the body so that you can stay peaceful while having your teeth cleaned or dental work performed. While the dosage may vary, laughing gas can be used on both children and adults, so all of our New York patients can remain comfortable and safe during procedures. We also offer sleep apnea treatment in New York using oral appliances.

Sleep apnea is a common disorder in which you have one or more pauses in breathing or shallow breaths while you sleep. Untreated it can:

• Increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, obesity, and diabetes
• Increase the risk of, or worsen, heart failure
• Make arrhythmias or irregular heartbeats more likely
• Increase the chance of having work-related or driving accidents

Sleep apnea is a chronic condition that requires long-term management. Lifestyle changes, mouthpieces, surgery, and breathing devices can successfully treat sleep apnea in many people.
