SAN ANTONIO – Happy new year from The Center for Sleep Apnea & Snoring!

Are you having difficulty sleeping at night?

You can start off 2019 by getting the best sleep of your life with help from The Center for Sleep Apnea & Snoring.

The Center for Sleep Apnea & Snoring is a dental practice dedicated to treating sleep disorders, including sleep apnea.

Sleep apnea facts:

• Sleep apnea is a medical condition in which a person has one or more pauses in breathing or shallow breaths while he or she sleeps.
• Pauses can last from a few seconds to minutes and may occur 30 times or more a minute.
• Over 18 million Americans have sleep apnea.

Instead of using the CPAP breathing mask for sleep apnea, The Center for Sleep Apnea & Snoring offers an oral appliance to help patients get better sleep.

"Sleep apnea can cause diabetes (and) high blood pressure and even lead to a stroke," said Veronica Morillos, sleep technician with The Center for Sleep Apnea & Snoring.

Most medical insurance providers and Medicare cover sleep-related treatments.
