Denver Orthodontist Warns Against the Dangers of Sleep Apnea

Denver, CO (prHWY.com) February 18, 2013 - Denver, Colorado (February 6, 2013) - The Cody Dental Group PC, an established practice that has a collaborative approach to dental health, is warning against the dangers of sleep apnea. Known for their friendly environment, the practice provides an accommodating Denver orthodontist for every dental problem that the local patients may experience.

Sleep apnea stops airflow for over ten seconds per event while sleeping. The abnormal change in airflow basically causes snoring. To give a proper diagnosis, an ENT or a sleep medicine expert determines the severity of the condition by means of a sleep study where the number of apnea events during an hour of sleep is tallied.

Sleep dentistry is a specialized category in the industry that helps describe the diagnosis and treatment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Also known as sleep-disordered breathing, the condition increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, high blood pressure, arrhythmia, diabetes and sleep deprived accidents.

To determine the proper treatment, sleep experts make the patient undergo an exam and study their sleep history. The Cody Dental Group is home to sleep dentistry specialists who can equip patients with mild to moderate OSA with a CPAP, a device that enables continuous positive airway pressure in the problem area. The CPAP mask pushes oxygen into the airway at a regular rate and pressure. The device opens up the constricted airway by holding the lower jaw in a protruded position.

The group also houses a Denver pediatric dentist who can help children begin their oral health care practices at an early age. For more information on their services, visit www.CodyDental.com.
