rea Woodson of Advanced Dental Sleep Treatment Center calls sleep apnea “a serious condition that doesn’t get the attention it deserves.” Worse, many people dismiss the symptoms.
“Most people who have sleep apnea don’t know they have it. The signs and symptoms are so common that we have come to accept them as normal: snoring, not sleeping well, morning headaches,” she said. “We get used to it, but it’s not normal and the short-term and long-term effects are not good.” Untreated sleep apnea can cause or exacerbate problems from depression to stroke risk, Woodson said, and
symptoms like snoring and gasping can be disruptive to a household. Fortunately, Advanced Dental Sleep Treatment Center provides customized solutions. “Sometimes people will achieve suc cessful treatment with CPAP, some times it’s with an oral appliance, some times it’s both,” Woodson explained, adding that the practice will also work with a sleep physician to either provide or guide diagnosis, depending on the patient’s medical insurer.
“We treat sleep apnea from start to finish,” she said. “We are an office that is 100 percent dedicated to sleep; that’s all we do.” ADVANCED DENTAL SLEEP TREATMENT CENTER 11919 GRANT ST., STE. 140 OMAHA, NE 68164 402.493.4175 WHYWESNORE.COM
