Snoring and Sleep Apnea Treatment
Obstructive Sleep Apnea treatment of North Alabama
Snoring has been the source of much humor over the years, especially with those we sleep with! Snoring isn't only a noisy nuisance to joke about. It often disturbs the rest of those who are snoring and those nearby also. What you may not know is that snoring may be a sign of a more serious condition known as Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
OSA can adversely affect a person's health by increasing the incidence of heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, autoimmune disease, diabetes, impotence, ED, menstrual irregularities, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and depression. Also approximately 103 million Americans fall asleep at the wheel each year. That can kill.
In fact, a person with OSA is twice as likely to die from a heart attack as a smoker. Also, someone with OSA is 23.3 times as likely to have a heart attack as a healthy person. A recent study showed that lack of sleep came just under smoking as the #2 lifestyle factor impacting health.
CPAP Therapy is the standard treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Many studies indicate only 50% or less compliance with CPAP. This means a significant number of people have given up trying to treat their OSA and are risking serious health problems.
Dr. Randall Sandlin has many years of experience using oral appliances to treat Neuromuscular signs and symptoms and has also helped many patients who were unable to wear CPAP to treat their Obstructive Sleep Apnea. One of the most successful oral appliances to treat OSA is the SomnoDent MAS, formerly known as SomnoMed MAS. It has over a 90% compliance rate and is well tolerated by most patients.
SomnoDent MAS is a medically tested, custom made oral appliance for the treatment of OSA and snoring. Unlike traditional CPAP Therapy; it requires no electricity, has no limit on sleep positions, has no cumbersome head gear, makes no noise, is comfortable and easy to wear, allows speaking and drinking while in use, is free from any attachments, and travels well.

So if you're not happy with CPAP Therapy or just want improved sleep quality for you and your family, SomnoDent MAS may be right for you! For a better night's sleep call Dr. Randall Sandlin to schedule a FREE consultation.
