Sleep Apnoea Islington

Sleep apnoea is a common yet often overlooked condition that can significantly affect your overall health and quality of life. If you struggle with loud snoring, daytime fatigue, or interrupted sleep, Islington Green Dental offers effective, non-invasive treatments to help you breathe better, sleep soundly, and wake up feeling refreshed.

What Is Sleep Apnoea?

Sleep apnoea is a sleep disorder where your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. This can happen due to a blocked airway (Obstructive Sleep Apnoea) or improper signals from the brain (Central Sleep Apnoea). The most common type, obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), occurs when the soft tissues in the throat relax and collapse, partially or fully blocking the airway.

At Islington Green Dental, we specialise in diagnosing and managing sleep apnoea using custom-designed oral appliances to improve your breathing and restore restful sleep.

Symptoms of Sleep Apnoea

Recognising the signs of sleep apnoea is the first step toward better sleep and improved health:

  • Loud, persistent snoring
  • Gasping or choking during sleep
  • Morning headaches
  • Excessive daytime fatigue
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Dry mouth or sore throat upon waking

Why Treat Sleep Apnoea?

Untreated sleep apnoea can have serious consequences for your health and well-being. It increases your risk of:

  • High blood pressure
  • Heart disease
  • Stroke
  • Diabetes
  • Mood disorders such as anxiety and depression

Frequently Asked Questions

Will wearing an oral appliance be uncomfortable?

Not at all. Custom-made oral appliances are designed to fit your mouth comfortably. Most patients adapt to them quickly and find them easy to wear. At Islington Green Dental, we ensure your appliance is tailored to your needs for maximum comfort and effectiveness.

How do I know if I have sleep apnoea?

Sleep apnoea can sometimes go undiagnosed because it occurs while you’re asleep. Common signs include loud snoring, gasping or choking during sleep, and excessive daytime tiredness. If you or your partner notice these symptoms, we recommend booking a consultation. A sleep study can provide a definitive diagnosis.

Are oral appliances effective for severe sleep apnoea?

Oral appliances are typically most effective for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea. For severe cases, a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine may be more suitable. However, our team will work closely with sleep specialists to ensure you receive the most appropriate treatment for your condition.
