Basics of Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a sleeping disorder that causes the stopping and starting of breathing. While it’s easy to mistake sleep apnea for snoring, this condition can cause very serious health issues if left untreated. At Regina M. Dailey DMD, our goal is to help educate patients on the warning signs and consequences of the breathing condition and help them get the comprehensive care they deserve. By working with local health specialists and general physicians, Dr. Dailey can help restore your normal breathing pattern and prevent long-term or permanent damage to your health.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best treatment for sleep apnea?

What are the warning signs or symptoms of sleep apnea?
Some of the common symptoms associated with sleep apnea include:
- Loud snoring
- Drowsiness while driving
- Restless sleep
- Waking with a choking/gasping sensation
- Waking with a dry/sore throat
- Sleepiness or lack of energy during the day

The best way to find out if you have sleep apnea is to undergo a sleep study. A sleep will record data such as oxygen levels, brain activity, and muscle movement, and a physician will determine if, in fact, you have sleep apnea. Then we can start treatment right away.
