We Treat Sleep Apnea
Do you suffer from snoring, endless fatigue, mood swings, headaches, and insomnia? Are the people you care about starting to be affected too?
If you think you might have sleep apnea, a serious condition that can negatively affect your health, it’s time to seek help. Sleep apnea is diagnosed by sleep specialists and can be treated by dentists like Dr. Katz, who are experts of the throat and mouth area, which is where obstructive sleep apnea occurs.
What to Expect During Your Consultation
We invite you to visit our Greensboro, North Carolina office for your in-depth consultation with Dr. Katz.
Here, Dr. Katz will ask you questions about your oral health history, the quality of sleep you’ve been having, and how you feel throughout the day.
Here are some of the signs thatindicate you could have sleep apnea:
- Waking up with headaches
- Frequent urination at night
- Enlarged soft tissue in the throat
- Daytime fatigue
- Lack of concentration
- Weight gain
Getting a Sleep Test
The only way to determine if you suffer from sleep apnea is to get it diagnosed by a sleep specialist. After your consultation, Dr. Katz will advise you to conduct a sleep test.
We provide you with options: take your sleep test in the comfort of your home, or at a sleep lab monitored by qualified professionals. Sleep tests monitor your activity while you sleep. Your brain activity, chin and eye movements, heart rate and rhythm, breathing patterns and blood oxygen levels will all be recorded.
The process is painless — there are no needles involved. The activity is monitored by sensors that you won’t notice.
Your sleep test results will determine if you suffer from sleep apnea, and a qualified sleep physician will issue an official diagnosis. Then, Dr. Katz can talk to you about getting treatment.
