More Than Just Snoring – A Serious Health Concern
What Is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a condition that disrupts breathing during sleep, often without the person realizing it. When the airway becomes blocked—typically due to the tongue falling back—it prevents oxygen from reaching the lungs. A diagnosis is made when breathing stops for at least 20 seconds multiple times per hour. Mild cases can involve interruptions 5 to 15 times per hour, while severe sleep apnea can cause breathing to stop over 30 times per hour—potentially more than 200 times in an eight-hour sleep cycle. Despite its prevalence, nearly 80% of individuals with sleep apnea remain undiagnosed. Many people don’t recognize the signs, making early detection and treatment essential for long-term health. At Yazdani Family Dentistry in Kemptville, we can help identify and treat sleep apnea to improve your sleep and overall well-being.
Comfortable Alternatives to CPAP Machines
How We Treat Sleep Apnea
CPAP machines have long been the standard solution for sleep apnea, delivering continuous airflow to keep airways open. While effective, many patients find them uncomfortable or difficult to use consistently—leading to untreated sleep apnea. At Yazdani Family Dentistry in Kemptville, we offer a more convenient alternative. As dental professionals, we are trained to assess your mouth and airway for signs of sleep apnea. Our team can guide you through the diagnosis process by referring you to a sleep study clinic or providing a self-administered home sleep test—an easy, comfortable option for mild to moderate cases. If diagnosed, we can create custom oral appliances that gently reposition the jaw to prevent airway blockages. For more severe cases, CPAP machines may still be the best solution to ensure your health and safety. Our goal is to help you find the most effective, comfortable treatment that fits your lifestyle.

Common symptoms of sleep apnea include loud snoring, daytime fatigue, morning headaches, difficulty concentrating, and waking up gasping for air. If you experience these symptoms, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional. We offer sleep studies and evaluations to accurately diagnose sleep apnea.
Yes, they can. Problems like TMJ disorders (temporomandibular joint disorders), teeth grinding (bruxism), and malocclusion (misaligned bite) can contribute to muscle tension in the face and neck, which can trigger or exacerbate migraines. We can assess your bite and jaw alignment to see if dental factors are playing a role in your migraine pain.
Absolutely. A misaligned bite can put excessive stress on the jaw muscles and joints, leading to tension headaches and migraines. We can evaluate your bite and recommend appropriate treatment to correct any misalignment.
If you experience jaw pain, clicking or popping in the jaw joint, facial pain, or headaches that worsen with chewing, your migraines may be related to dental issues. A comprehensive dental examination and TMJ assessment can help determine the cause.
Dental treatments, such as custom-made oral appliances or splints, can reduce muscle tension and prevent teeth grinding (bruxism), which are common triggers for migraines and tension headaches.
Beyond migraine relief, dental splints can also address conditions like bruxism (teeth grinding), TMJ disorders, and tension-type headaches by reducing muscle contraction intensity and preventing tooth wear.
