Do you snore loudly at night, feel tired throughout the day, or wake up with headaches in the morning? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you may have sleep apnea or TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder). The good news is, if you live in Brentwood or Murfreesboro, TN, there are solutions available to help manage these conditions. In this blog post, we’ll explore sleep apnea and TMJ solutions available in the area, as well as tips for getting comfortable with CPAP, a common treatment for sleep apnea.
Sleep Apnea Solutions
Sleep apnea is a condition where you stop breathing at night, which can cause a variety of health problems. There are many solutions available for sleep apnea, including CPAP therapy, oral appliance therapy, and surgery. At our Brentwood and Murfreesboro locations, we offer all of these solutions, and our expert staff can help you determine which option is right for you. For some patients, CPAP therapy is the best option for managing sleep apnea.
Tips for Getting Comfortable with CPAP
While CPAP therapy can be highly effective, many patients find it uncomfortable at first. Here are some tips for getting comfortable with CPAP:
1. Start out slow. Begin by wearing the CPAP mask for short periods while awake, so you can get used to how it feels.
2. Make adjustments. Your CPAP machine may come with a variety of mask options, pressure settings, and humidification options. Experiment until you find settings that work for you.
3. Keep your equipment clean. Regular cleaning can prevent skin irritation and help you breathe more easily.
4. Use a humidifier. If your machine has a built-in humidifier, use it! This can help prevent dryness in your nose and throat.
TMJ Solutions
TMJ is a condition where you experience pain and discomfort in the joint that connects your jawbone to your skull. At our Brentwood and Murfreesboro locations, we offer TMJ solutions such as custom-made oral appliances, mouthguards, and splints.
