In this interview Dr. Raynard Riley dentist in Summit, NJ discusses sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by abnormal pauses in breathing or instances of abnormally low breathing during sleep. Sleep apnea can cause sleepiness during the day, and can be dangerous for individuals that drive. One of the treatments available for sleep apnea is "didgeridoo" which helps reduce snoring and sleep apnea as well as daytime sleepiness. CPAP mask is another available treatment, which will help individuals sleep for longer periods thru the night. Sleep apnea can be self treated. For example weight loss, a small amount of weight loss can open up your throat and improve sleep apnea symptoms. Quit smoking, avoid alcohol, avoid sleeping pills, maintain regular sleep hours, and avoid caffeine, and heavy meals. Cosmetic dental procedures can be done at Patient First Dentistry of Summit NJ.
