Do You Want The Snoring To Stop Tonight....Permanently???

Snoring Mouth Guards (The CPAP Alternative)



The Snoring mouth guard or Suad appliance is a customized oral appliance that holds the jaw in a proper position during sleep. This in turn keeps soft tissue from collapsing and blocking airflow. The snoring mouth guard or Suad appliance is known to eliminate both snoring and obstructive sleep apnea in many cases. Dr. Abel has had great results from the oral appliances he has prescribed, and has many years experience. He is also a member of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine.

Sleep Apnea Affects Children too! Tips for Parents

Does your child snore?
Snoring in children can mean something is seriously wrong!

Snoring is the best indicator of sleep apnea in kids
Apnea in kids is serious
Apnea in kids has dangerous consequences for developing brains

Parent's Information

What can you do?

Look at your child. Listen to your child.

Posture:
Have your child stand so you can see their profile. Is their head in front of their shoulders? "Head forward" posture can be a sign that your child is attempting to open his/her airway to breath better.


Face:
Are your child's lips chapped? Mouth breathers usually have chapped lips. If your child is a mouth breather, the tongue is in the floor of the mouth instead of the roof of the mouth. Watch your child while sleeping. Look at his/her lips and listen to the breathing. If he/she is snoring, takes short pauses while breathing, or has his/her lips apart, discuss these findings with your pediatrician.


Teeth:
Are your child's teeth crowded? The lips, cheeks and tongue are very strong muscles. The lips and cheeks push in while the tongue pushes out. These muscles must be in balance in order for the teeth to erupt into the correct position. If the tongue is not in the proper position in the roof of the mouth, proper balance is impossible.


Swallow:
Give your child a glass of water and watch him/her swallow. During a correct swallow, the tongue is in the roof of the mouth. If your child squirts his/her tongue forward and you can see it, or if there is an unusual amount of head, neck, and facial muscle movement during the swallow, talk to your pediatrician or dentist.


If you suspect your child has a sleep disorder, talk to your pediatrician. A sleep study is the gold standard for diagnosing sleep disordered breathing/sleep apnea. If your pediatrician does not order a sleep study, get a second opinion.

Mount Kisco, NY Dentist Treats Snoring and Sleep Apnea So That You Can Rest Easy

Mount Kisco, NY Dentist Treats Snoring and Sleep Apnea So That You Can Rest Easy.

Have you been told that you snore, or even that you stop breathing at certain times during the night? Do you wake up groggy and stay that way? You may have sleep apnea, a potentially dangerous condition in which breathing repeatedly lapses for 10 seconds or more. At our Mount Kisco, NY practice, Dr. Abel provides comprehensive general, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry to address all of your oral healthcare concerns, including those that relate to snoring and mild sleep apnea. Dr. Abel can prescribe customized night guards, or oral appliances, to regulate the breathing of patients with sleep apnea. Oral appliances position your jaw so the soft tissues normally prone to collapsing and impeding your breathing are kept open throughout the night. You will be able to sleep soundly and awaken refreshed. Left untreated, sleep apnea leaves you vulnerable to a greater risk of heart disease, stroke, weight gain, and premature death. Once sleep apnea is under control with the use of an oral appliance, these serious risks are minimized. That’s a relief for you and your loved ones.
Dr. Abel works closely with local physicians certified in Sleep Medicine as well as local sleep centers to assure you receive the best care possible.

A Common Condition

An estimated 12 to 20 million Americans suffer some form of sleep apnea. Many factors contribute to the condition, including:
• Relaxed air passageways that impede airflow
• The tongue falling back to block the throat
• Narrowed anatomical structures
• Obesity

When air passages become blocked, your brain senses lack of oxygen and tells the body to breathe. As air forces its way through narrowed passageways, the sound we call snoring occurs. Not all snorers have sleep apnea, but for those who do, snoring may be a primary symptom. Sufferers awaken after a night’s sleep feeling as if they didn’t sleep at all, and experience daytime lethargy and irritability. You may experience memory loss, and notice your overall health worsen. People with sleep apnea are also at increased risk of driving- and work-related accidents.

Diagnosis & Treatment

Dr.Abel will perform a comprehensive snoring/sleep apnea assessment, and may refer you to a lab for a sleep study. Countless snorers and sleep apnea patients experience relief with oral appliance therapy. A custom-fitted, acrylic mouth guard can be the key to achieving the deep sleep you and your household may have been missing. This service is often covered by medical insurance.

Get the restorative slumber you deserve. Call our Mount Kisco office at (914) 241-2242 to schedule a snoring and sleep apnea evaluation with Dr. Abel.
