Sleep Apnoea Treatment at DHCA

Don’t Suffer Needlessly

There are a number of sleep disorders which can negatively impact our day-to-day lives, including the most well-known of these, sleep apnoea. This debilitating disorder affects many Australians, however seeking relief for the condition can be as easy as visiting our local Collins Street dental practice.

Do You Suffer from Sleep Apnoea?

Sleep disorders can sometimes go unnoticed, so it is important to be aware of any of the following symptoms:

• Day-time sleepiness
• An inability to concentrate during the day
• Constant tiredness not relieved by sleep

While these symptoms may seem mild, they do pose potential risks for sufferers. For example, sufferers may become so tired that they fall asleep at the wheel while driving, putting both their lives and others in danger.

It is important to seek treatment for a sleep disorder sooner, rather than later. By addressing these concerns with our dental health care team, you will be able to overcome issues such as sleep apnoea with the help of industry professionals.

How Dental Health Care Associates Can Help You

Our team of dental professionals are passionate about helping our patients overcome health concerns to achieve and maintain lifelong, optimal health. No one should have to deal with a sleep disorder alone, and because at Dental Health Care Associates we specialise in all areas of oral health (including issues affecting the head, neck, and mouth), we’re always here to help.

We liaise with sleep professionals and can arrange for a sleep study to be performed to determine if a sleep disorder exists, and if so, to what extent. Additionally, we are able to treat mild and moderate sufferers with a dental mandibular advancement splint, which helps to maintain an open airway during sleep. Another benefit of this treatment is that it can also help to alleviate snoring.
