Sleep apnea causes breathing interruptions while sleeping, depriving the body of much needed oxygen. Severe conditions can involve 15 breathing obstructions in one hour, increasing the risks of heart attacks and strokes. Overweight people and children with bigger tonsils are more susceptible to this condition.

Fortunately, Concord residents can turn to a reputable Concord, CA dentist to provide solutions for this condition. Often, treatment from a dentist involves the use of a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device, more commonly known as snore guards. A CPAP contraption works by pushing the jaw forward so that the tonsils don’t depress too much when inhaling. Some dental practices, like sm:)e Family Dentistry, also have facilities designed to put sleep apnea sufferers at ease, thus facilitating treatment.
