Sleep Apnea in Las Vegas

Does someone in your family have sleep apnea in Las Vegas? Does their loud snoring keep you awake at night? And as much as their snoring bothers you, does it bother you even more when they stop breathing? That’s what happens when people have sleep apnea. And most of the time they assume that the only way to relieve the problem is to go to a medical doctor to get a CPAP machine. That may have been the only way to treat sleep apnea years ago, but now you can see our dentists at Moore Family Dentistry for a Las Vegas sleep apnea appliance.

As tough as it is on you when someone in the family suffers from sleep apnea, it’s even worse on the person who has it. Not only are they getting a very restless night of sleep, but they are probably waking up with a dry mouth and maybe even a sore throat from snoring with their mouth open. You see, when someone suffers with sleep apnea in Las Vegas, they’re actually snoring because their airway is blocked, probably by their tongue. And after they’ve exhausted the breath they took, their brain finally wakes them out of a sound sleep just enough to jog their tongue out of the way so they can breathe again. Now imagine doing that thousands of times a night and you can see why it’s important to see Dr. Moore for help with sleep apnea.

Losing sleep can have a terrible effect on your life. And left untreated, sleep apnea in Las Vegas can affect not only the person who has it, but the entire family. A simple test and a custom-made sleep apnea dental appliance from Moore Family Dentistry can help everyone in your home get a better night of sleep. So give Moore Family Dentistry a call today at 702-254-6700 and let us do a sleep apnea test for you.

When you think of sleep apnea you generally think about people going to the doctor for treatment. They go in and get tested overnight and generally end up with one of those giant sleep masks they have to wear. Now there’s a great way to kill the mood in the bedroom! Having to wear a CPAP sleep mask to help with breathing is ok if that’s really what you need to do. But there may be an alternative that’s much easier to deal with than sleeping while hooked up to a noisy machine. You can come in to see Dr. Moore at Moore Family Dentistry and ask about a Las Vegas sleep apnea appliance to help with the problem.

For those who are not familiar with sleep apnea, you may be familiar with the loud snoring of someone in your family. Chances are they snore for a bit, stop snoring suddenly, and then gasp for air as they begin to breathe again. If that sounds familiar, you need to bring that person (or yourself) to Moore Family Dentistry for a sleep apnea checkup. We may be able to help with a Las Vegas sleep apnea appliance that simply fits in your mouth when you sleep.

With certain types of sleep apnea your tongue simply slips to the back of your throat and blocks your airway. When that happens, your sleep gets interrupted and your brain actually wakes up briefly so that you start to breathe again. When we make a special dental mouth guard for you that is designed to fit the shape of your mouth, you’ll find that your tongue can no longer get in the way and your airway is kept open so you can sleep more soundly.

So if someone in your family is keeping you up at night with loud snoring, call Moore Family Dentistry at 702-254-6700 and make an appointment. Let us make a Las Vegas sleep apnea appliance for you.
