Dental health affects our well being and comfort. Tooth diseases can cause an array of disorders like heart problems, diabetes, cavities, tooth decay etc. Listed below are some of the most recommended dental clinics, which guarantee to offer the best possible treatment.

According to the latest statistics, about 40% of women and more than 60% of men between the ages of 40 and 60 years snore. Snoring occurs due to the partial obstruction of the airway. Obstructive sleep apnea is a harmful disorder, which occurs when the airway is completely blocked. It could possess health risks like high blood pressure, irregular heart beat and even heart attacks.

It is categorized into three types namely

• Central apnea
• Mixed apnea
• Obstructive sleep apnea

Causes of apnea
Central apnea occurs when the upper airway is open and a negligible amount of oxygen enters the system. Under this situation, the patient does not receive a chemical response from the brain to stimulate the diaphragm and lungs.  Under obstructive sleep apnea, lungs and diaphragm of the patient work systematically. However, zero amount of oxygen enters into the system due to obstruction in the upper airway.

When obstructive and central apnea occurs simultaneously, it is referred as mixed apnea. Some of the symptoms of this disorder could be-

• Non refreshed sleep
• Impotence
• Decreased sex life
• Morning headaches
• Irritability
• Clouded memory
• Personality changes
• Sleepiness
• Snoring
• Fragmented sleep
• Choking during the night

Consider the factors that affect apnea
Factors that affect this disorder could be consumption of alcohol, obesity, age and sedative hypnotics. The dental profession plays an important role to heal such life threatening disorders.
