Sleep Apnea Causing You Pain?




Sleep apnea research and studies have recently been gaining momentum. People who have been struggling for years to get the sleep they need may have been suffering in silence. You may have been waking up from an eight hour day feeling exhausted and run down. Well now there is an option. Dr. Judy Strutz and her team are able to make you a custom made device that opens up your throat when you sleep.

Sleep apnea, breaks down your ability to hit rem sleep. This is the part of deep sleep that helps reboot your body. During this time, your body is able to heal and work through problems or issues that it is facing. Without these eight hours of sleep and you constantly waking up throughout the night, your body is not able to fully feel rested. In return you wake up tired, irritated and eventually this can begin to cause problems with your immune system.

Individuals who struggle with sleep apnea, can wake up hundreds of times a night gasping for air to breath. As your body hunkers down and attempts to sleep again, your body wakes up once again gasping for air to breath.

Take time to contact Dr. Strutz and her team today. Take your life back from sleep apnea and get the quality sleep you deserve.

Do You Need An Oral Device To Treat Your Sleep Apnea?



Some dentists have joined the fight against sleep apnea and have decided that in order to provide a comprehensive set of dental supports, this is another area where they can help. Dr. Judy Strutz and her team have joined this fight. Millions of Americans go untreated with sleep apnea every year. You no longer have to fight to stay awake, struggle to keep your job, or watch promotion after promotion, pass you by because there is help.

How do you know if you have sleep apnea, and are not just impacted by snoring?
1.     Do you stop breathing in the middle of the night?
2.     Do you feel tired even after getting 8 or more hours of sleep?
3.     Do you feel confused when you wake up, or feel foggy?
4.     Do you fall asleep during the day in uncomfortable situations?
5.     Do you feel short of breath during the night, or wake up gasping for air?

If you have answered yes, to any of these you may benefit from a dental oral device to help your sleep apnea. A dental device fits in your mouth, similar to a mouth guard. It helps open up the jaw to limit the ability of your tongue to cut off breathing. This device should be custom fit to meet your needs and should not be done by just anyone.
