Snoring and Sleep Apnea

Sleep Apnea is a condition suffered by many people and the solution is a machine that often people can’t tolerate.  In the past few years, the role of the dentist has become more important as medical solutions are not the only answer.  People who suffer from, Obstructive Sleep Apnea, (OSA) can testify that they have energy loss, and often time suffer from systemic diseases like high blood pressure.  An oral device has become a viable alternative as more and more people are finding that it works.  The device is an adjustable custom orthotic designed to advance the lower jaw and pull the tongue forward away from the airway.  Some medical insurance plans cover the device, however either way it’s a small price to pay for giving your body the oxygen it needs during the night.  For more information visit www.DrSamRomano.com or call 973-377-7088.
