Houston Dentist Dr. Heather Fleschler Discusses Dangers of Sleep Apnea

    HOUSTON, TX, October 06, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dr. Heather Fleschler, a leading dentist based in Houston, says many people suffer from sleep apnea and don't even know it. She says sleep apnea isn't just about snoring; it can lead to serious health risks.

Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that keeps you from reaching a natural sleep rhythm. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common form, which occurs when the soft tissue in your throat collapses and blocks your airway.

"Getting proper sleep can do wonders," Houston Sleep Apnea dentist Dr. Fleschler said. "We work one-on-one with our patients and help them with a treatment plan that will significantly change the way they live. We utilize several treatment methods such as oral appliance therapy to get them back to a better night's sleep."

Sleep apnea affects 12 million people across the country and can lead to several other serious illnesses if left untreated. Some serious problems related to sleep apnea include:

- Increased chance of stroke
- Heart disease
- High blood pressure
- Weight Gain
- Daytime sleepiness
- Car Accidents
- Adult Asthma
- Depression
- Headaches
