Dr. Raio: OSA is Obstructive Sleep Apnea. This happens while you're sleeping and there's an obstruction of your airway. Eighty-five percent of the time, it's your tongue that will block your airway and stop you from breathing, cutting off oxygen to your brain. And how the brain responds to that is it takes you from deeper sleep stages to lighter sleep stages in an effort to get you to change position or move your tongue out of your airway so that you can then breathe again.
What are the signs and symptoms of OSA in adults? Mostly it's daytime sleepiness, poor focus, poor productivity, and waking up like you feel like you haven't slept well. In children, it could be bedwetting, poor math grades, poor reading grades. Also in children, OSA is misdiagnosed as ADD and ADHD because when a child doesn't sleep and doesn't get good restful rejuvenating sleep they tend to act up during the day. One of the main reasons that we would assume you have OSA would just be by looking at your anatomy or a Cone Beam CT Scan of your airway showing a small airway or a high vaulted palate in the oral cavity. The other way we could tell if you have Obstructive Sleep Apnea is with a sleep study. Here at Rejuvenation Dentistry, we have single-use sleep studies that we mail to our patients. The data gets uploaded to a cloud that I could then see and evaluate and go over the sleep study with the patient and show them if they have OSA or not. Laser therapy benefits OSA. We use a NightLase laser by Fotona, which actually tightens up the collagen of the soft tissue of the airway, the back of the throat, the soft palate, the uvula, the posterior part of the tongue. We wave the laser over this soft tissue and it organizes the collagen, tightens it up, and really shrinks it up thereby opening the airway.
To learn more about Obstructive Sleep Apnea and the treatment that we provide for it and to learn more about yourself and how you sleep and what happens to you while you sleep, give us a call, we'll send you a sleep study and you can zoom with me and we'll go over it.
