We understand that quality sleep is vital to your overall health and well-being. Sleep apnea is a serious condition that disrupts breathing during sleep, leading to poor rest and a host of related health issues. Hayes Family Dentistry in Cookeville, TN, offers effective dental solutions for sleep apnea, helping you achieve restful, uninterrupted sleep so you can wake up refreshed and ready to take on the day.
We Picture A World Where Every Night Brings Deep, Restorative Sleep
Sleep apnea is characterized by breathing interruptions during sleep, often caused by the relaxation of throat muscles that block the airway. This can lead to snoring, restless sleep and daytime fatigue. Left untreated, it increases the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and other serious health conditions.
Our goal is to provide solutions that not only improve your sleep but also enhance your quality of life, ensuring that you enjoy better health and vitality.
- Oral Appliance Therapy: A custom-fit oral appliance can reposition the jaw to keep your airway open during sleep. This non-invasive treatment is comfortable, easy to use and a convenient alternative to CPAP therapy for many patients.
- Lifestyle Counseling: We offer guidance on lifestyle changes that can improve sleep apnea symptoms, such as weight management, sleep position adjustments and avoiding tobacco and alcohol.
- Collaboration with Specialists: For severe cases, we work closely with sleep specialists to ensure comprehensive care. We integrate our dental solutions with broader treatment plans to provide the most effective path to recovery.
