Question of the Week – “What about anti-snoring devices that you can get from the internet, and what are the dangers of using those TV type devices?”

Good question! Yes, there are dangers in purchasing anti-snoring devices from the internet! The number one danger is not talking with your physician about your snoring to find out if you have obstructive sleep apnea.

Save the money you might spend on TV type devices. They can create problems over providing solutions.

If you are looking for help with better sleep and no more snoring, call Dental Sleep and TMD Center of Illinois at (630) 369-5508 today. We will determine whether or not you are struggling with sleep apnea and whether or not Oral Appliance Therapy is right for you. Visit http://www.tiredofsnoring.com for more information on the important and treatable condition called obstructive sleep apnea.

Sleep apnea is a health condition to be worried about.

Worried that your bed partner may have sleep apnea?

Have you observed snoring and/or gasping from your bed partner?

Does your bed partner stop breathing while sleeping? A person can stop breathing hundreds of times in just one hour.

I’ll bet if you ask your loved one, “Do you know you snore, gasp or stop breathing while you sleep,” they will answer, “No.” They have no idea they may have sleep apnea.

Please consider taking the following steps to improve the concerning condition of sleep apnea:

1. Lose weight
2. Avoid alcohol consumption before bedtime
3. See a sleep therapist. Get a sleep study. Doing so may save your life.
