Sleep Apnea

Sleep Diagnosis

Do you have problems snoring or making it through a whole night’s sleep? Do you often wake up tired despite getting enough sleep? There is a chance you are dealing with sleep apnea. This is a common sleep disorder that can become dangerous if not treated correctly. Severe sleep apnea is characterized by your breathing repeatedly stopping and starting during sleep.

In its most common form, sleep apnea occurs when the muscles in your throat relax while you are asleep, causing your airway to contract. At Flower Mound Dental, we would love for you to visit us to talk about solutions and a potential treatment plan for your sleep apnea. We will start by giving you a sleep exam. Through this, our dentists will be enabled to pinpoint any risk factors you may have for sleep apnea by giving you a series of screening questions. You will also be required to have a CT scan done to provide an image of your mouth and airway so your dentist can recognize any blockages in your airflow. A treatment plan tailored to your specific needs will then be formed.
