Welcome to Cincinnati Dental Sleep Medicine, where Drs. Kitzmiller and their team are committed to treating patients for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea in Milford, OH so that they can enjoy more restful sleep and a better quality of life!
What is Sleep Apnea?
Typically, someone with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) will snore heavily, then stop breathing. The bed partner will observe that the person struggles to breathe but there is no snoring sound. These periods of lack of breathing are followed by sudden attempts to breathe, often accompanied by a gasping or choking sound. The person with OSA will partially awaken leading to fragmented, non-refreshing sleep which can be the cause of excessive daytime sleepiness. The lack of breathing also causes the oxygen level in the blood stream to fall, leading to multiple medical problems.
