What is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a serious, potentially life-threatening condition in which an individual repeatedly stops breathing while he or she sleeps. The most common type is obstructive sleep apnea, caused by a blockage of the airway. This blockage could be excess tissue in the nasal passages or behind the tongue in the oral pharynx and hypopharynx of the airway.
Dr. Blumenstock is pleased to be able to offer his dental sleep apnea services to New Jersey and the surrounding states. Visit our main web site to learn more about Central Jersey Dental Sleep Medicine.
