Schedule an Appointment for Sleep Apnea Day
Sleep apnea day falls on March 20 and if you or someone you know suffers from it but is unhappy with current treatment call Chittenden Dental.
Dr. Mike Morris is a licensed bioesthetic dentist making customized solutions for your chronic snoring and/or sleep apnea.
What is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a disorder that men, women and children suffer from. This serious condition is potentially deadly as it causes the person to wake as many as thirty times every hour just so he or she can breathe.
People with sleep apnea, for whatever reason, have a smaller airway making it nearly impossible to breathe.
Because of the narrow airway the brain wakes the person up. Because the incidents happen so quickly people suffering have no idea that they have the disorder.
