Sleep Apnea Treatment

Sleep Apnea Treatment in East Delhi

Sleep apnea is a potentially serious condition marked by repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep. It can lead to severe health issues if left untreated. At Veda Dentistry, East Delhi, we provide advanced sleep apnea treatment in East Delhi, including specialized snoring treatments, to address this condition effectively and enhance overall well-being.

What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea disrupts normal breathing patterns during sleep. This condition falls into two main categories:

  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): Caused by physical blockages in the airway, such as soft tissue or improper jaw positioning.

  • Central Sleep Apnea (CSA): Arises from issues with the brain's ability to signal the muscles that control breathing.

Symptoms of Sleep Apnea

Common signs of sleep apnea include:

  • Persistent snoring

  • Mood changes and irritability

  • Morning headaches

  • Restlessness or choking sensations during sleep

  • Frequent night awakenings

  • Feeling fatigued despite sleeping all night

  • Night sweats

  • Pauses in breathing during sleep

Snoring, often associated with sleep apnea, is more than just a nuisance—it can signal a serious health condition requiring immediate attention.

Diagnosis of Sleep Apnea

Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. At Veda Dentistry, we perform:

1. Comprehensive Clinical Examination: Detailed history and evaluation of the head and neck region.

2. Sleep Study (Polysomnography): This gold-standard test monitors:

  • Brain activity

  • Heart rate

  • Breathing patterns

  • Blood oxygen levels during sleep

Treatment Options for Sleep Apnea

1. Conservative Management

Weight Loss: Helps reduce airway blockages in obese patients.

Sleeping Position Adjustments: Elevating the head or sleeping on your side improves airflow.

Nasal Sprays: Alleviate nasal congestion.

2. Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) Devices

CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure): Ensures the airway remains open by delivering steady airflow.

BiPAP (Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure): Offers variable pressure for better comfort in specific cases.

3. Oral Appliances

Custom dental devices reposition the tongue and jaw, improving airflow by preventing airway obstruction.

4. Nerve Stimulators

These devices stimulate the nerves, controlling muscles involved in breathing and ensuring optimal function during sleep.

5. Surgical Interventions

Surgery is recommended when anatomical abnormalities like:

  • Deviated nasal septum

  • Enlarged tonsils

These are evaluated thoroughly before planning the procedure.
