Snoring is a common condition disturbing to others and distressing to the snorer. However, most people don't realize that snoring can be a serious health hazard. Heavy snoring can be a symptom of obstructive sleep apnea, a condition that is potentially dangerous and can be life threatening. Sleep apnea is often associated with hypertension, headaches, and even strokes. Dr. Davoud is trained in dental sleep medicine and can custom fit you with a dental appliance i.e. Somnomed that will help control the snoring and mild-mod sleep apnea. This small device fits in the mouth, and when worn at night prevents the collapse of throat tissues, eliminating the cause of the snoring and sleep apnea.
