Expert Dental Care for Better Sleep and Improved Health

At Grosso Family Dentistry, we believe that quality sleep is just as important as a healthy smile. With over 30 years of experience serving the Libertytown and Frederick communities—and now in Eldersburg—our compassionate team provides effective solutions for sleep apnea. If you or a loved one are struggling with snoring, daytime fatigue, or interrupted sleep, we offer dental solutions to help you breathe better and sleep soundly.

What Is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts throughout the night. These pauses in breathing can last for several seconds to minutes, causing disruptions that prevent deep, restorative sleep. If left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to serious health risks such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and excessive daytime fatigue.

Types of Sleep Apnea:

  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): The most common form, caused by a blockage of the airway due to relaxed throat muscles.
  • Central Sleep Apnea: Occurs when the brain fails to send proper signals to control breathing.
  • Complex Sleep Apnea Syndrome: A combination of both obstructive and central sleep apnea.

Signs and Symptoms of Sleep Apnea:

  • Loud, chronic snoring
  • Waking up gasping or choking
  • Excessive daytime sleepiness or fatigue
  • Morning headaches or dry mouth
  • Difficulty concentrating or memory problems

How Grosso Family Dentistry Treats Sleep Apnea

We offer non-invasive, customized dental solutions to help manage sleep apnea symptoms and improve sleep quality.

If you suspect sleep apnea, our team works closely with sleep specialists and physicians to assess your symptoms. We can provide guidance on sleep studies and help you understand your diagnosis.

For patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, we offer a custom-fit oral appliance designed to keep the airway open while you sleep. These devices reposition the jaw and tongue to prevent airway collapse, providing a comfortable and effective alternative to CPAP therapy.

Many patients find CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machines uncomfortable or difficult to use. A custom oral appliance from Grosso Family Dentistry can be a more comfortable, quiet, and travel-friendly solution.

We educate our patients on lifestyle changes that can help reduce sleep apnea symptoms, including:

  • Maintaining a healthy weight
  • Avoiding alcohol and sedatives before bedtime
  • Sleeping on your side instead of your back
  • Practicing good sleep hygiene
