Sleep apnoea treatment affects patients’ health, moods and quality of life. If this condition is stopping you from getting a full night’s sleep, it can be overwhelming and frustrating.

Either way, you don’t need to worry—there are local professionals that are ready to help.

At Holistic Dental Melbourne CBD, our dental team is knowledgeable about management of sleep apnoea patients. We can give you a personalised management plan to help you on your journey to affordable, local sleep apnoea Melbourne, so you can reclaim your sleep schedule.

Sleep Apnoea Treatment

What is Sleep Apnoea Melbourne?

Sleep apnoea is a potentially serious condition that occurs when the upper airway becomes repeatedly blocked throughout sleep. This reduces or completely stops airflow (breathing). If you have not been formally diagnosed with sleep apnoea Melbourne, we may refer you to a sleep study. During a sleep study, sleep technicians record the number of episodes of slow or stopped breathing and the number of sleep apnoea events that occur in an hour. The severity of sleep apnoea depends on how often the breathing is interrupted. As a guide:

  • normal sleep – fewer than five interruptions per hour
  • mild sleep apnoea – between 5 and 15 interruptions per hour
  • moderate sleep apnoea – between 15 and 30 interruptions per hour
  • severe sleep apnoea – more than 30 interruptions per hour.

It IS estimated that about five per cent of Australians suffer from sleep apnoea treatment, with around one in four men over the age of 30 years affected.

Sleep Apnoea

The Symptoms of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea

Here are some of the symptoms of sleep apnoea:

  • Recurrent sore or dry throat
  • Loud snoring
  • Waking up with a choking or gasping sensation
  • Lack of energy during the day
  • Sleepiness while driving
  • AM Headaches
  • Chronic pain around head and neck
  • Tmj pain
  • Restless sleep
  • Decreased sex drive
  • Forgetfulness
  • Mood changes that are out of character
  • Recurrent awakenings or insomnia

People with significant sleep apnoea have an increased risk of motor vehicle accidents and high blood pressure, and may have an increased risk of heart attack and stroke .If you experience 2 or more of these symptoms on a frequent basis, you may be in need of sleep apnoea treatment options.

Causes And Treatments

Obesity and excess weight are the leading causes of sleep apnoea, with other causes including a narrow throat, thick neck, or a dental overbite. Alcohol, especially in the evening, relaxes the throat and is also associated with sleep apnoea. Contributing factors can also be attributed to thyroid issues, a typical growth and allergies. Other medical conditions, such as a deviated septum, may congest the upper respiratory tract.

The first line of treatment for sleep apnoea is making changes to your lifestyle, including losing weight and cutting down on alcohol and treating any associated medical condition.

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy remains the preferred method of care for sleep apnoea patients. However, if you do not respond well to CPAP or If you have mild to moderate sleep apnoea, another possible treatment is the use of a specially made dental appliance (tongue retraining device (TRD) or mandibular advancement splint). These splints work by either holding your jaw forward during sleep or by preventing the tongue falling back while you are sleeping. We create dental sleep solutions that are easy to use and adjust to, so you can get a full night of high-quality sleep.
