What is Sleep Apnoea?

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a fairly common condition which can lead to poor quality sleep and your sleep being regularly interrupted. OSA occurs when the walls of the throat relax and narrow during sleep or a partial blockage occurs which interrupts normal breathing patterns.

When sleep apnea occurs, the brain will cause a reaction so you wake up (often in the form of a loud snore or snort). Normal breathing will commence until it happens again.

The Two Types of Breathing Interruptions of OSA

Apnoea – where the muscles and soft tissues in the throat relax and collapse to cause a blockage of the airway
Hypopnoea – a partial blockage of the airway that results in 50% reduced airflow for 10 seconds or more

People with OSA may suffer repeated episodes of Apnoea and Hypopnoea, which means they will often wake regularly throughout the night.

Am I Suffering From Sleep Apnoea?

Most symptoms may generally be picked up by your partner, family and friends first, who will notice problems when you are sleeping, such as:

Loud snoring
Noisy or laboured breathing
Repeated gasping or snorting

Other symptoms that may be noticed by the patient are:

Extreme tiredness and fatigue during the day
Headaches in the morning
Irritability
Anxiety or depression
Forgetfulness
Mood swings

The biggest symptom to watch out for is loud or excessive snoring that has constant gasps and pauses.

How Is Sleep Apnoea Diagnosed?

An Apnoea/Hypopnoea index has been developed to identify the severity of each case. It is used to monitor how many Apnoeas occur per hour during sleep. If the score is less than 10 on the index, it is unlikely to be diagnosed as a clinical problem.

At Ascent Dental Care Loughborough, diagnosing sleep apnea is not that simple unfortunately and we may work in conjunction with your GP to ensure we prescribe the correct treatment and provide the right support.

How is Sleep Apnoea Treated?

Lifestyle changes – such as losing excess weight, reduced alcohol consumption and sleeping on your side can all help to reduce the symptoms of OSA
Use of a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device – these devices prevent your airway closing while you sleep by delivering a continuous supply of compressed air through a mask
Wearing a mandibular advancement device (MAD) – wearing a custom -made gum shield at night works by holding your jaw and tongue forward to increase the space at the back of your throat while you sleep. Please read our page on Anti-SnoringTherapy to learn more about the Somnowell device and how this may help OSA.

Fabulous practice would highly recommend! I’ve been seeing Mandeep and she’s been great as I was very nervous!

It’s a lovely professional and friendly team from the moment you ring to make your appointment!

Mandy Darcy

Thank you so much ! From the first step into Ascent Dentist I was welcomed and reassured that I would be treated to suit my fears. I am terrified of the dentist but after meeting the receptionist,the nurse then the actual dentist I felt that I could actually go through with my treatment. I had an initial examination then was advised what treatment I needed. I felt so relieved that I agreed to have the treatment. I made my appointment for root canal and fillings under sedation! WOW! On the day of treatment I arrived and was put at ease by all welcoming,smiling staff,it really is a good environment! Had my treatment and taken. Home_ no side effects but best of all no pain. I would recommend ASCENT Dentist to anyone afraid or not. Thank you for making this the best dental experience. Mrs D’Arcy.

Helen Horne

Ascent Dental Care has professional and friendly staff who always provide excellent treatment. I had dental implants last year and am very pleased with the outcome. Before starting and throughout the procedure the staff explained exactly what was happening and what was involved. This was very important to me.

Nicola Hall

I had an emergency appointment today and Mandeep and Ellie were great at not only explaining what was happening with my tooth extraction but also keeping me calm as I was very nervous. The extraction its self was quick and in no way uncomfortable. I am very greatful to them both for putting me at ease and the being professional throughout the appointment

Excellent service. 10 out of 10 at every stage of contact with Ascent. First: Almost instant phone call back following enquiry submitted on the website. Then: scheduling an appointment over the phone by super clear & efficient receptionist, followed by txt reminders & txt pre medical forms in prep for appointment. Then: Arriving in the clean, professional clinic, instantly information pack provided with pricing, info about surgery, payments plans & my dr qualification & experience. And finally: this was my 5th Invisalign consult & dr Gursh’s approach is just entire new level to anything you’ve ever experienced. Professional, efficient, attentive & perfectionist. Wealth of knowledge & fluency at every stage of examination. Very excited to start my journey to, I have no doubt, I will end up with perfectly aligned teeth. 100% recommend and I am a very particular client.

Thank you Ascent 🙂 xx

Tasha Grant

16 months of dental work and I couldn’t be happier with the final result with my new smile!

I did not think it was possible to perfect my teeth due to my over bite and I was worried about the time I would need to wear a brace but it flew by.

The transformation is amazing and I can now smile with confidence!

Thank you x

Scott Partridge

Fantastic professionalism and flexibility to suit my demands. I was booked in originally to have some routine maintenance carried out but then after looking at the cosmetic services that Ascent provide decided to opt for Veneers. Perfect job carried out and a big thanks to all.

John Hitchcock

Full information given and efficiently sorted the problem

Emily Lee

I went to Ascent dental care in Loughborough to look into ways I could improve my smile. My dentist Jyoti was absolutely amazing! She talked me through all my options and we decided to go for a whitening treatment and then composite bonding. The communication throughout from the practice was incredible and the process couldn’t have been made easier. Jyoti has absolutely transformed my smile and I couldn’t be happier! Not only is she professional and brilliant at what she does, she’s also very friendly and put me at ease through every step. Thank you soo much!

Kate Clarke

Jyoti and Alex made me feel really comfortable when having my composite bonding done and the results are amazing. I only wanted a subtle change to my teeth and a natural look, would highly recommend this practice.

Jenny Townend

Couldn’t recommend highly enough from the lovely reception staff to the professional and calming dentist who did my root canal treatment today. I was originally referred as I was a very nervous patient and wanted sedation. But after meeting the dentist he assured me I would cope under local anaesthetic which I did and the whole procedure was totally painless. Thank you.
