Sleep Apnoea

Key causes include obesity, anatomical factors (like a narrow airway), age, gender, family history, and lifestyle choices such as smoking and alcohol use.

Common signs include loud snoring, episodes of stopped breathing, gasping during sleep, daytime sleepiness, morning headaches, and irritability.

At Holistic Dental Brunswick, we offer treatment options like:

• Lifestyle changes: Weight loss, quitting smoking, and reducing alcohol intake.
• Oral appliances: Custom-made devices to keep the airway open.
• CPAP therapy: For severe cases, a machine that provides a steady stream of air during sleep.

Untreated sleep apnoea can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and increased daytime fatigue. Seeking treatment is crucial to improving your overall health.
