Family dentist in Graham, NC, Dr, Jerome Crayle, agrees that more people are driving with sleep apnea, than are driving drunk. Sleep deprivation leads to lack of focus, irritability and increased accidents. Chronic sleep apnea, in various degrees, is often accompanied by snoring. Defined by several interruptions in breathing during sleep, a blockage of the air passage causes consistent gasping for air, and a struggle to maintain oxygen, leading to fatigue, hypertension and obesity. A CPAP machine may be helpful in alleviating severe sleep apnea, while a custom mouth guard, constructed from a dental mold, improves snoring. Severe sleep apnea sufferers are urged to participate in an assessment and sleep study to determine an effective treatment plan.
