Effective Sleep-Disordered Treatment that is Easy to Wear and Maintain

  • Dr. Mark H Wright
  • Sleep Apnea
Sleep Disordered Breathing in Colorado Springs CO Area

People who snore are often the brunt of jokes, but it isn’t a laughing matter if the cause is sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a severe sleep condition where patients stop breathing briefly when sleeping, denying the body a healthy amount of oxygen. The results? Daytime fatigue and mood swings. Not only that — sleep apnea puts you at risk of severe conditions like heart disease, stroke, and hypertension. Serious stuff, uh!

If you suspect you have sleep apnea, don’t take it lightly. Instead, book an appointment with a sleep apnea dentist near you. For residents of Colorado Springs, Colorado, you can always turn to Mark H. Wright, DDS, for sleep apnea relief.

What Exactly is Sleep Apnea?

If you Google the word “sleep apnea,” the words “severe” and “breathing disorder” will be prominent. And Google is correct because the word “apnea” means “paused breathing.” So, sleep apnea is the brief cessation of breathing when sleeping.

This abnormality mainly occurs when the structures in the throat collapse, blocking your airway partially or entirely. When this happens, the body panics, and the brain signals the body to wake up, often making patients wake up choking or gasping for air. This pause in breathing may happen hundreds of times a night. That’s insane! No wonder sleep apnea patients experience daytime fatigue even after a whole night of sleep.

Effective Treatment for Sleep Apnea

If sleep apnea is wreaking havoc on your health, Dr. Mark Wright can stop the menace using a small, custom-made dental device you put in your mouth while sleeping. A dental splint shifts your jaw forward and prevents the tongue and other tissues from collapsing. This keeps your airway open throughout your sleep.

Unlike a CPAP machine, maintaining your dental device is way much easier. All you need is to clean it with a soft brush or cloth and antibacterial soap after using it. Then, rinse and dry it before storing it in the case provided.

Sleep Apnea Clinic Near Me

Could a dental device be all you need to start having a deep, restful sleep? If you are in Colorado Springs, Colorado, please dial (719) 635-1622 to book an appointment with Mark H. Wright, DDS, for oral appliance therapy.

COVID-19 Patient Safety Policy

To my valued patients,

After great deliberation, I have made the decision to close the office effective March 19th. We will continue to see patients this week, but as things continue to change rapidly, that date may change. I care deeply about all of you, as well as my team. In order to keep everyone healthy and safe, we will only be seeing patients on an emergency basis. I will always be available, and you may reach me on my cell phone for any emergency. If we had an appointment scheduled for you, and we haven’t been able to make contact, please call our office to reschedule.

You may reach us at dr.wright@markhwrightdds.com or call (719) 635-1622.

Thank you all for your understanding. We will see you as soon as we can.
