Sleep apnea is a condition where one pauses his breathing many times throughout the night. This gives the brain and other organs insufficient amount of oxygen which is very fatal. When the body does not get enough oxygen, serious health problems arise. Forest Heights Family Dental provides treatment for sleep apnea to aid proper breathing and reduce the risk of stroke, heart disease and cardiac arrest.

Snoring, often dismissed as a minor inconvenience, can escalate into a more disruptive issue. Its severe form possesses the potential to not only disrupt your own sleep but also affect the rest of your household. Consistent sleep disturbances can lead to unpleasant symptoms such as daytime drowsiness, frequent headaches, and even mild cognitive impairment. If left untreated, snoring can give rise to more serious health risks, including hypertension, heart disease, and stroke.
