Walls, DDS.<\/p>\n<h3>Find the Right Fix for Better Rest<\/h3>\n<p>Sleep apnea is a condition in which you stop breathing when you fall asleep. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common type of this condition. When you have OSA, your airway becomes closed off as you drift into sleep. Your muscles relax, which allows soft tissue to shift in a way that blocks your airway. Depending on the severity of your condition, this may happen as many as hundreds of times every night.<\/p>\n<p>To treat your condition, you need to find a way to keep your airway open. If you don&#8217;t, your body will wake you up when you stop breathing. This means you won&#8217;t get the deep sleep that health professionals believe you need. Not breathing puts stress on your body. This may explain why people with untreated sleep apnea are more likely to have high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, diabetes complications, and other health issues.<\/p>\n<p>A common treatment prescribed by doctors is a CPAP machine. Many people find CPAPs difficult to use. Research has shown that anywhere from one-third to one-half of CPAP users give up on the machine within a year.<\/p>\n<p>As an alternative, dentists like Dr. Walls who have completed training with the ADSM can design an oral appliance for you. It works by slightly shifting the resting position of your lower jaw to keep your airway from closing. So you continue breathing and stay asleep long enough for deep, quality sleep. With an appliance, you will avoid:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Irritation from the mask<\/li>\n<li>Difficulty adjusting to the sensation of air blowing into your mouth and nose<\/li>\n<li>Distracting sound that can make it tough to sleep<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Prevent your snoring, breathe easier, and get the rest you need.

I am very wary of dental practices because of bad experiences as a child. Dr. Walls is understanding and extremely gentle with his approach. I just had a crown installed and though it was not a wonderful time the staff was kind and gentle and made me comfortable and pain free.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div><\/div>\r\n\n\n<section  class=\"faq-a \" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/FAQPage\">\r\n\t<div class=\"container\" data-aos=\"fade-up\" data-aos-duration=\"1500\">\r\n\t\t<h4 class=\"faq-title slide-down-trigger active\" data-target=\"faqs-items\">\r\n\t\t\t<span class=\"title-wrap\">Common Questions <i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n\t\t<\/h4>\r\n\t\t<div id=\"faqs-items\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"faqs-items\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"item\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"item-title faq-item-title-a active slide-down-trigger\" data-close-title=\"faq-item-title-a\" data-close-desc=\"faq-item\" data-target=\"faq-item-1\" itemprop=\"name\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i> What is sleep apnea?<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"faq-item-1\" class=\"faq-item item-desc typo active\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p itemprop=\"text\">Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that affects tens of millions of Americans. People who have sleep apnea can stop breathing hundreds of times each night. This condition can increase your risk of everything from high blood pressure to heart attacks and being in car accidents. The most common form of this disorder is obstructive sleep apnea, which your dentist here at Shawn A. Walls, DDS can help you treat.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"item\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"item-title faq-item-title-a  slide-down-trigger\" data-close-title=\"faq-item-title-a\" data-close-desc=\"faq-item\" data-target=\"faq-item-2\" itemprop=\"name\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i> Why is sleep apnea bad?<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"faq-item-2\" class=\"faq-item item-desc typo \" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p itemprop=\"text\">Not only will sleep apnea disrupt your sleep to the point that you feel fatigued and are unable to concentrate during the day, but this condition has also been linked to several other serious health problems. Sleep apnea can play a role in high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, and depression. Treating your sleep apnea now will improve your quality of life and potentially help you live longer.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"item\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"item-title faq-item-title-a  slide-down-trigger\" data-close-title=\"faq-item-title-a\" data-close-desc=\"faq-item\" data-target=\"faq-item-3\" itemprop=\"name\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i> Can sleep apnea cause depression?<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"faq-item-3\" class=\"faq-item item-desc typo \" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p itemprop=\"text\">Studies have linked sleep apnea to multiple serious health conditions, including depression. Some symptoms of depression and sleep apnea overlap, which can make it difficult in some cases to realize that apnea and depression may be related.
