Why the Best Valentine’s Day Gift is Quiet Sleep!

Are you constantly awakened by your partner’s snoring? If so, now is the perfect time to do something about it! Instead of your normal Valentine’s Day presents like chocolate, flowers, jewelry, or watches, you can get them a gift that keeps on giving: sleep apnea therapy. Read on to learn more about sleep apnea and how treatment from an expert sleep dentist will make this Valentine’s Day the best one yet.

What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a common disorder that affects millions of Americans. It occurs when the tongue and/or throat muscles collapse, causing a full or partial blockage in the airway, making it difficult to breathe. This interrupted breathing can happen sometimes hundreds of times throughout the night, which is why those affected get poor quality sleep. This blockage in the airway is also what causes snoring – the sound is happening because there is an obstruction in the airway.

Warning Signs

It’s possible to snore without sleep apnea, which is why you and your partner should be aware of the most common additional symptoms to look for:

• Frequently waking up gasping for breath
• Morning headaches
• Difficulty breathing during sleep
• Irritability
• Daytime drowsiness
• Lack of focus

Sleep Apnea Treatment Helps Everyone

You know how some of the best gifts for your loved one are often those that you can both enjoy? Sleep apnea therapy is definitely one of them! By effectively treating the root of the problem, your partner can enjoy restful, uninterrupted nights, and so can you. It helps the entire family by eliminating the loud snoring you’ve grown used to.

But how? It all starts with a sleep diagnosis. Once you get your partner to agree on a sleep test, either in a lab or at home, you’ll be able to get a professional diagnosis. After you know the condition is sleep apnea with certainty, your expert sleep dentist will create a custom-made oral appliance for your loved one. This is a comfortable, easy to use mouthpiece that is worn at night. It positions the jaw and/or tongue in a way that clears the airway for easy breathing and no snoring. The best part is that it’s convenient to travel with, hassle-free, and EFFECTIVE!

Ready to make this Valentine’s Day (and night) your best yet? It starts with a simple call to your dentist. Get your loved one effective sleep apnea treatment so you can both enjoy the full night’s rest you deserve.
