# The Role of our Dentist in Sleep Apnea

![](https://yardleydentalarts.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/dentist-yardley-pa-slider-2018-2-1024x576.jpg)

The issue of sleep apnea has affected the majority of our families over the last few years as this medical condition has continued to grow. There are many causes of sleep apnea and a few treatment options that can assist with the issue that we often characterize by the problem of snoring at night and broken sleep. When you are looking to handle the issue of sleep apnea we believe you should be looking for the top dentist in the area to complete your treatment correctly.

**How Can a Dentist Help**

In the past, the only major way of handling your sleep apnea was with the aid of an oxygen mask designed to allow you to sleep comfortably throughout the night. The problem for many of us who are affected by sleep apnea was that these sleep aids were loud and uncomfortable to wear at a time when we were supposed to be relaxed and trying to sleep.

As a top dentist in the area, we believe we have the skills to allow you to feel more comfortable at night when you are looking to get to sleep and help your partner avoid the noise of using an oxygen mask. Dental specialists are now using their skills to make it easy for any individual to use an oral appliance that can play a part in avoiding the problem of sleep apnea.

**New Diagnosis Techniques**

The latest diagnosis techniques are being used to help our dental specialists to improve the way you learn about any sleep issues. Instead of spending a night in a sleep lab the latest attempts at diagnosis come in the form of a home sleep testing kit that is used and returned to our office. After being returned to our practice a physician analyzes the data and gives their opinion.

**Treatment Options**

There are many treatment options available for you when you are affected by sleep apnea, including the use of a CPAP machine that can be difficult to come to terms with. This used to be the only option but we have learned some forms of sleep apnea are caused by a blockage obstructing the airways. We believe these cases should be treated with an oral appliance designed to fit the mouth of the patient. As a top dentist in the area, we believe this is a great option for many of our patients who feel they are set to improve their lives with a better night’s sleep.

When you are ready to learn more about your potential sleep problems call today to book an appointment with a top dentist in the area.
