What are the benefits of sleep dentistry?

At Alex Bell Dental in Centerville, Ohio, patients with sleep-disordered breathing concerns such as obstructive sleep apnea or chronic snoring can benefit from the care our team provides with sleep dentistry. These conditions are often managed with the use of a large appliance called a CPAP machine. However, these devices are uncomfortable for many patients, which causes non-compliance with treatment. At our practice, we are excited to provide alternative solutions to our patients with a team of professionals with experience in sleep dentistry.

What are the benefits of working with a dental team that offers sleep dentistry services?

There are several advantages to working with a dental team with experience in sleep dentistry. Our dentists:

• Assist patients with oral health concerns along with sleep-disordered breathing
• Provide alternatives to CPAP machines, including oral appliance therapy
• Improve patient comfort and compliance with sleep apnea treatment
• Provider personalized care thanks to a deeper understanding of one’s specific health needs

During a consultation visit, we talk to you about your symptoms to ensure you get a proper diagnosis. From there, Drs. Daniel Cobb, Anne Starkey, and Lance Rose can provide solutions that meet your needs, budget, and lifestyle!

Are there medications to help with sleep apnea?

Because of the cause of obstructive sleep apnea, there is no medication that can help with the condition itself outside of using a CPAP machine or an oral appliance. However, medications may be used to address the symptoms that occur the following day, such as caffeine pills to combat fatigue or over-the-counter pain medications to deal with headaches or sore throats.
