Let Us Treat Your Sleep Apnea in Paducah for a Better Night’s Rest
Your loud snoring and noisy gasping for breath may negatively affect your relationship with your bed partner by making it tough for them to get a good night’s rest.

A lack of restful sleep not only leaves you fatigued, irritable, and unfocused, it has also been linked to serious health conditions such as high blood pressure and stroke.

Breathe Like Normal With a Sleep Apnea Appliance
If you suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, your airway will become blocked repeatedly during the night. This causes you to gasp for breath as many as hundreds of times a night, which obviously affects the quality of your rest. Two common ways of keeping your airway open are a sleep apnea appliance and a CPAP machine. The appliance simply moves your jaw slightly forward into a position that keeps the airway clear. With a CPAP, you’ll breathe in pressurized air through a face mask.
Dr. White can make you a custom-fit sleep apnea appliance that will be:
- Convenient – Unlike a CPAP, you won’t need batteries, electricity, or distilled water to use an appliance. An appliance can be easily transported in a pocket or a purse.
- Comfortable – With no face mask or restrictive tubing, most sleep apnea sufferers find an appliance more comfortable than a CPAP. An appliance is also less distracting for your bed partner.
Though Dr. White can’t diagnose sleep apnea, he is happy to work with a physician. He can also give you an Itamar home sleep test that will show how your breathing improves with an appliance.
