Sleep Apnea
If you’re finding yourself waking up in the middle of the night gasping for air, more likely you’re suffering from obstructive apnea. This condition causes the relaxation of muscles around your throat and tongue, thus causing blockage of airflow to your lungs. As a result, the condition can also cause snoring at night. Below we focus on the use of dental applications, or mouth guards, to correct this problem.

Why You Need a Mouth Guard for Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea should not be taken lightly as it poses many health complications if unresolved. Below are some problems of sleep apnea that can be avoided by wearing a mouth guard every time you go to sleep.
- Sleep-deprived partners – Snoring at night can cause relationship problems as it deprives your partner enough sleep at night. In fact, many family members complain they are sometimes forced to shift to another room away due to snoring
- Daytime fatigue – Shortness of breath linked to sleep apnea can disrupt your normal, restorative sleeping patterns. Therefore, you’ll occasionally experience daytime irritability, fatigue, and drowsiness because of your condition
- Liver problems – There is a tendency for people with sleep apnea to contract non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. This illness is characterized by abnormal functioning and scarring of the liver.
- High blood pressure – Poor breathing leads to a fall in the level of oxygen supplied to your body. Your heart ends up straining to pump faster to correct the oxygen debt, thus causing high blood pressure or hypertension

What should you do if you think you might have sleep apnea?
If you suspect you’re suffering from sleep apnea, do the following:
- Begin by consulting your primary care physician for screening. After it is accurately diagnosed, your care provider will discuss with you the available treatment options for your condition. It is only after an oral snoring device is recommended that you’ll be referred to a sleep dentist
- Upon visiting your local dentist, you’ll be told to bite down on a bite kit so that your dentist can use the impression to create an oral appliance that precisely fits your mouth. He or she will then place an order for your mouth guard, which may be delivered directly to you on a later date, or you might have to collect it yourself
- After receiving your mouth guard, occasionally follow up with your sleep dentist to monitor progress

Lynn, my hygienist whom I see every four months, has this incredible way of making the dental visit surprisingly enjoyable. The reception team is not only welcoming but also super knowledgeable, and every staff member seems genuinely happy to see me.
I had an outstanding experience at this dental practice! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel incredibly welcome and at ease.
The dentists were not only knowledgeable but also took the time to thoroughly explain the treatment options available to me. The entire process, from the initial consultation to the final adjustments, was seamless and efficient. The office itself is modern, and comfortable, which added to the overall positive atmosphere. I am delighted with the results and can confidently recommend this practice to anyone seeking top-notch oral care and a fantastic smile transformation.
The best dentist and dental clinic I’ve ever been. The staff are friendly and accommodating from the time I walk into the moment I walk out of their clinic. I had my root canal and dental crown done and as expected it was exceptional and the procedure was done professionally.
They also made sure that I am comfortable while they are doing the procedure. I received an exceptional service and Dr. Mohamad Khorshid is really great! If you are looking for a dentist and dental clinic to take care of you, I would highly recommend Mississauga Smiles Dentistry. I’m a regular client since 2018 and they really took good care of all my other dental needs.
