Sleep Apnea

Donโ€™t Snooze on Sleep Apnea Warning Signs

Do you ever feel like no matter how long you sleep, itโ€™s not enough? Does your bed partner complain about your snoring? Are you dozing off in the afternoon or feel you always need to nap? If so, you might be suffering from obstructive sleep apnea.

Untreated sleep apnea has been associated with an increased risk of high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, diabetes, and obesity. Individuals with sleep apnea are also more likely to be involved in motor vehicle accidents.

Donโ€™t lose sleep over sleep apnea. With our help, you can improve your sleep and your health!

Sleep Apnea

Do you ever feel like no matter how long you sleep, itโ€™s not enough? Does your bed partner complain about your snoring? Are you dozing off in the afternoon or feel you always need to nap? If so, you might be suffering from obstructive sleep apnea.

What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea?
Obstructive sleep apnea is a chronic condition that occurs when your muscles relax during sleep, allowing soft tissue to collapse and block the airway. This can cause you to stop breathing hundreds of times per night for anywhere from a few seconds to more than a minute at a time. These breathing pauses are followed by brief awakenings that disturb the quality of your sleep.

Who has Obstructive Sleep Apnea?
If you think you have sleep apnea, youโ€™re not alone. At least 54 million adults in the United States suffer from sleep apnea. Although sleep apnea can occur at any age, the risk increases as you get older. Other factors that increase the risk of sleep apnea include having excess body weight, a narrow airway, a recessed chin, or a misaligned jaw.

How Do I Know if I Have Sleep Apnea?
Symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea include snoring or choking or gasping sounds. But you can also have sleep apnea, even if you donโ€™t snore frequently or loudly. OSA can cause silent pauses in your breathing, so be on the lookout for these additional symptoms as well:
โ€ข Waking in the morning feeling unrefreshed
โ€ข Being tired during the day
โ€ข Morning headaches
โ€ข Waking up frequently at night to go to the bathroom
โ€ข Difficulty concentrating or remembering things

What is Oral Appliance Therapy?ย 
Oral appliances are indicated for use in patients with mild to moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea who prefer them to CPAP therapy.

Oral appliance therapy uses a mouth guard-like device worn only during sleep to maintain an open, unobstructed airway. The devices prevent the airway from collapsing by supporting the jaw in a forward position. For many, oral appliance devices are more comfortable to wear than a CPAP mask. The devices are also quiet, portable, and easy to care for. Research suggests oral appliance therapy offers a higher patient compliance rate than CPAP.

What if my Sleep Apnea goes untreated?
Untreated sleep apnea has been associated with an increased risk of high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, diabetes, and obesity.

If you think you may have sleep apnea โ€“ donโ€™t worry โ€“ Dr. Weber can help.
Schedule a consultation to discuss sleep apnea by calling 614-891-4242

Can you benefit from dental Botox?

Due to its minimally invasive nature, the use of Botox in dentistry is expanding to treat dental conditions like high lip lines, Temporomandibular Joint Disorder, Bruxism, and more.

  • High Lip Line:
    Patients with a high lip line can use Botox to help relax lip muscles and achieve a lower, more aesthetically-pleasing smile line. This is a popular option because the entire process isnโ€™t very invasive, and we can provide treatment on the same day.
  • TMJ:
    Patients dealing with Temporomandibular Joint Disorder can also benefit from Botox injections. TMJ disorders can cause severe pain from hyperactivity of the muscles, and treatment options have been limited in the past. Now, Botox can simply relax these muscles for quick and efficient pain relief.
  • Bruxism (grinding of teeth):
    Bruxism can also be minimized with Botox treatments by reducing the force of the muscular contractions involved. These injections can make a useful adjunct therapy to night guard appliances.

Schedule a consultation today to see if you can benefit from Dental Botox! Call us 614-891-4242

Lip Flip with Dr. Pheifer

๐Ÿคฉ Hey! We know her!!! ๐Ÿคฉ
Check out Dr. Pheifer on Live Happy Live Well on NBC4!
Most men and women notice their lips begin to thin sometime in their early 30s and 40s. This causes your smile to appear more โ€œgummyโ€. If this sounds like your lips – we can help!
The Lip Flip involves injecting Botox into the top lip. Botox encourages the muscle to relax and the top lip to โ€œflipโ€ outwards, giving the subtle illusion of a fuller lip.
Donโ€™t let thin lips keep you from being your most confident and radiant self. ๐Ÿ˜
614-891-4242 call us today to schedule!

Here is another before and after Lip Flip!
