In fact, excessive snoring is among the most common symptoms of a potentially life-threatening condition known as obstructive sleep apnea. At the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslatnerdds.com\/contact.html\">Los Angeles, CA<\/a> dental practice of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslatnerdds.com\/meet-dr-latner.html\">Dr. Les Latner<\/a>, you can discover real relief from snoring as well as sleep apnea with a custom oral appliance.\r\n<h2>The Importance of Treating Sleep Apnea<\/h2>\r\nWhen a person has sleep apnea, their breathing is repeatedly interrupted throughout the course of the night, often causing a severe reduction in blood oxygen levels. Over time, untreated sleep apnea can contribute to the following health complications:\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>High blood pressure<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Pulmonary hypertension<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Coronary artery disease<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Heart attack<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Stroke<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Heart failure<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Atrial fibrillation<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Chronic daytime fatigue, which may result in accidents behind the wheel or at work<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Depression and anxiety<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Seizures and other nerve disorders<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nFortunately, there is a minimally invasive method of treating sleep apnea: a custom oral appliance that is worn only at night. The oral splint keeps your jaw and tongue in their proper positions, keeping the airway open. Finally, you can enjoy a truly restful night of sleep and more energized mornings.\r\n<h2>Explore Your Sleep Apnea Treatment Options<\/h2>\r\nIf you or someone in your family suffers from obstructive sleep apnea and you\u2019d like to learn more about treatment, please <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslatnerdds.com\/contact.html\">call us today<\/a> to schedule a consultation with Dr. Latner.
