-
I have been going to A2Z Dental Clinic for 3 years and I have always had a great experience. The team is lovely and they go above and beyond to explain every step of my treatment. I recently had a crown done by Dr. Abraham and I was very impressed with the care and technology they used.My crown was done in one appointment using state-of-the-art technology. They used a computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) system to create the crown, which saved me time and reduced the carbon footprint of my treatment. The crown was then sculpted on the spot by a machine, which ensured that it was a perfect fit.I am very happy with the results of my crown and I would highly recommend A2Z Dental Clinic to anyone looking for a great dental experience.

- Central Sleep Apnoea: Resulting from a failure of the brain to transmit signals to the muscles that control breathing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing or shallow breaths during sleep. These pauses can last for a few seconds to a few minutes and occur repeatedly throughout the night, disrupting sleep quality and leading to oxygen deprivation.
There are three main types of sleep apnea:
- Obstructive sleep apnea: The most common type, caused by a blocked airway due to relaxed throat muscles collapsing during sleep.
- Central sleep apnea: Caused by the brain failing to send proper signals to the muscles controlling breathing.
- Complex sleep apnea: A combination of obstructive and central sleep apnea.
Some common symptoms of sleep apnea include:
- Loud snoring
- Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS)
- Fatigue
- Waking up gasping for air
- Morning headaches
- Irritability and mood swings
- Difficulty concentrating
- Decreased libido
Several factors can increase your risk of developing sleep apnea, including:
- Being overweight or obese
- Having a large neck circumference
- Family history of sleep apnea
- A narrow airway
- Nasal congestion
- Smoking
- Alcohol use
- Menopause (in women)
Sleep apnea is typically diagnosed through a sleep study, which involves overnight monitoring of your breathing, sleep patterns, and oxygen levels.
The most common treatment for sleep apnea is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. CPAP uses a machine to deliver air pressure through a mask worn while sleeping, keeping the airway open. Other treatment options may include:
- Lifestyle changes: Losing weight, quitting smoking, and avoiding alcohol can improve sleep apnea symptoms.
- Oral appliances: Worn in the mouth to keep the airway open during sleep.
- Surgery: In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove or reshape tissues blocking the airway.
Untreated sleep apnea can lead to serious health problems, including:
- High blood pressure
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Diabetes
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Memory problems
- Traffic accidents
While not always preventable, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk of developing sleep apnea:
- Maintain a healthy weight.
- Exercise regularly.
- Quit smoking.
- Limit alcohol consumption.
- Treat nasal congestion.
- Sleep on your side.
- Get enough sleep.
