Jaw Pain and Sleep Apnea

Jaw pain and sleep apnea are common sleeping disorders that usually manifest with pauses in breath, shallow breathing, and snoring sounds. A breath delay may cause choking and significantly disturb you while in your sleep. Pauses can last from several seconds up to minutes.

At Sapphire Dentistry in Doncaster, we understand how difficult it is to live with sleep-disordered conditions. Clenching and grinding your teeth at night cause headaches and jaw deterioration, which can significantly impact your overall health.

These tools push the lower jaw forward, allowing the airway to flow freely. There is less risk of breathing difficulties or snoring.

If you or someone you know is suffering from obstructive sleep apnea, it is time to stop and find relief for your problem.
