\"Snoring<\/a>Snoring is capable of being one of the most annoying sounds known to man. It happens at the worst time, too \u2013 while you\u2019re sleeping. It may be so thunderous that it wakes you up from a deep sleep. And your partner? It\u2019s even worse for them. If you suffer from loud snoring, there\u2019s nothing to be ashamed of. It\u2019s something that\u2019s out of your control\u2026or is it? Snoring and sleep apnea have often been linked when it comes to diagnosing a patient with the disease. However, there are instances where snoring is not a symptom, thereby muddying the waters even more. How do you know if you suffer from sleep apnea? Our Arlington, TX<\/a> office houses one of the best dentists in the area, Dr. Douglas Baldwin. He is the sleep apnea dentist Arlington residents can turn to for excellent sleep apnea treatment.<\/p>\n

So, is it just snoring or has sleep apnea altered your sleeping pattern?
\n<\/p>\n

The Great Debate: Snoring or Sleep Apnea?<\/h3>\n

Here\u2019s a crazy stat to wrap your head around: Roughly 90 million Americans suffer from some type of snoring while they sleep. It\u2019s undetermined how many of those 90 million people are light snorers or moderate, but you can bet that there are many of them that are heavy snorers. Heavy-to-severe snorers often have a sleep disorder called Obstructive Sleep Apnea. It\u2019s here where the lines tend to skew on properly diagnosing sleep apnea. Here\u2019s what we do know: Obstructive Sleep Apnea is the main culprit behind loud snoring, but loud snoring isn\u2019t necessarily a precursor to sleep apnea.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, how do you tell the difference?\u201d Simple: Dr. Baldwin will know.\u00a0 Visit our office to determine if you need the sleep apnea treatment, Arlington residents depend on!<\/p>\n

Take Back Your Beauty Sleep<\/h3>\n

Sleep apnea is a serious condition that needs specialized treatment. This is your livelihood we\u2019re talking about here. When a patient suffers from sleep apnea, they\u2019re capable of choking or gasping at any point while they\u2019re asleep. In extreme cases, patients have been known to stop breathing altogether. So, as you can see, it\u2019s very important for you or a loved one to get treated immediately. It isn\u2019t just about giving yourself and your partner a restful night\u2019s sleep, but about keeping yourselves healthy.<\/p>\n
