Snoring and Sleep Apnea

Manage Sleep Apnea Disorder

Sleep apnea is a disorder characterized by pauses (apneas) in breathing during sleep, each pause causing one or more breaths to be missed repeatedly.

Because the pauses in breathing take place during sleep, you are often unaware of even having this disorder, thus making it hard for sleep apnea symptoms to be detected.

Long-term health problems may result from untreated sleep apnea so you should seek medical attention if you experience daytime sleepiness or extreme fatigue.

At Petrolia Dental, our dentists screen patients who are at risk for sleep apnea and will refer you to a trusted specialist when treatment is needed.
