San Marcos Sleep Apnea - Shishir Shah, DDS

Snoring Treatment - California Center for Snoring & Sleep Solutions

The California Center for Snoring and Sleep Solutions is dedicated to the treatment of Sleep Apnea and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (snoring).  Dr. Shah has developed parnerships with several area medical groups to provide Dental Sleep Medicine to patients who have sleep apnea or who snore.

Sleep apnea is a potentially life-threatening sleep disorder characterized by repeated pauses in breathing during sleep. The term sleep apnea is derived from the Greek etymology meaning “without breath”. Breathing pauses can last anywhere from several seconds to minutes, and happen as often as 30 times or more per hour. Ongoing disrupted breathing causes an imbalance between the carbon dioxide and oxygen levels in the bloodstream, as not enough carbon dioxide is exiting and not enough oxygen is entering the body.

Sensing this imbalance, the brain sends a message to the body, telling it to wake up to restart breathing the process. People with sleep apnea will partially awake as they struggle to breathe, and this is often accompanied by loud snoring or choking sensations. Because people with sleep apnea don’t always completely awake during the episodes, they are often unaware they have a sleeping disorder and it can remain undiagnosed.

Dr. Shah has found very good sucess in using a dental appliance from the Somnomed company that is specifically designed to alleviate sleep apnea and snoring.
