\"olderThere\u2019s an old adage saying that the cure for anything shouldn\u2019t be worse than the disease — but unfortunately, that\u2019s exactly how many people feel about CPAP therapy for sleep apnea. This bulky and noisy machine often creates more issues for the sufferer than the original snoring and interrupted sleep. Finding a successful treatment is crucial for sleep apnea in Southlake, and your holistic dentist can help you find an alternative to CPAP! Continue reading to find out how.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Downsides of CPAP<\/span><\/h2>\n

CPAP stands for continuous positive airway pressure, and it works by pumping an uninterrupted flow of air through a nasal mask into the lungs during sleep. In this way, the airway is forced to stay open, preventing snoring and the interrupted sleep that occurs as a result. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While CPAP therapy has improved over the years, many patients find the required nasal mask to be uncomfortable and disruptive. Others cannot seem to sleep through the sound associated with the CPAP — especially true for anyone else trying to sleep nearby. Additionally, people who travel a lot may find it to be inconvenient to keep up with the bulky equipment while on the go. Patients who have not been able to find relief from sleep apnea with a CPAP are thus \u201cCPAP intolerant.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

There Is an Alternative to CPAP<\/span><\/h2>\n

Fortunately, there is usually a CPAP alternative available for patients who need one. A common option is the oral appliance, a small, customized, and <\/span>silent <\/span><\/i>way to keep the airway clear throughout the night. Worn like an athletic mouthguard, it repositions the lower jaw, preventing its collapse and allowing patients to sleep soundly. This option fits well, doesn\u2019t require any complicated set-up, and won\u2019t make any noise while you and your partner rest. <\/span><\/p>\n

Natural Cures for Sleep Apnea<\/span><\/h2>\n

In addition to seeking a professional cure for your sleep apnea symptoms, it is always a good idea to consider making lifestyle changes to stop the problem at the source. Because sleep apnea is often the result of being overweight or obese, adopting a vigorous exercise and eating a balanced, nutritious diet can make a big difference in the quality of your sleep. Reducing your alcohol consumption, especially before bed, can also help you sleep better. <\/span><\/p>\n

No matter the cure for your sleep apnea, the important thing is seeking a solution — and the sooner, the better. This condition can have a serious impact on your overall wellbeing, sometimes resulting in premature death. Don\u2019t wait another day to get in touch with a holistic dentist in Southlake to discuss alternatives to CPAP therapy for sleep apnea ASAP! <\/span><\/p>\n
