Sleep Apnea

What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)?

Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a common yet serious sleep disorder that occurs when the airway is blocked during sleep, often by the tongue or other soft tissues in the throat. This blockage can cause multiple interruptions in breathing throughout the night, leading to poor sleep quality and various health risks such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes.

Our Approach to Treating Sleep Apnea and Snoring

At Le Denté Clinic, Dr. Rashida, an American Board-certified Dental Sleep Apnea Specialist from TUFTS University USA, leads our treatment of sleep apnea using the latest technologies and a personalized approach. We offer several effective treatments:

Custom Oral Appliances

These devices are designed to keep the airway open by positioning the lower jaw forward, improving breathing and enhancing sleep quality.

Comprehensive Diagnostics

Utilizing advanced diagnostic tools like electromyography and joint vibration analysis, we evaluate jaw positioning and muscle function to tailor treatments effectively.

Polysomnogram and Home Sleep Testing

For a thorough assessment of sleep apnea severity, we provide options for both in-lab overnight sleep studies and convenient at-home testing, depending on the individual's needs and condition severity.

Symptoms and Warning Signs of Sleep Apnea

Recognizing the signs of sleep apnea is crucial for timely treatment. Symptoms include:
Loud snoring, gasping, or snorting during sleep
Daytime sleepiness and fatigue
Morning headaches, dry mouth, or sore throat
Irritability, depression, or anxiety
Difficulty concentrating and memory issues

Sleep Apnea in Children

Sleep apnea isn’t limited to adults; it can also significantly affect children, impacting their behavior, academic performance, and overall health. Symptoms in children may include loud snoring, restless sleep, hyperactivity, daytime sleepiness, and bedwetting. At Le Denté Clinic, we provide specialized care for children with sleep apnea, working closely with families to ensure comprehensive treatment.

Testimonials

“My journey with Dr. Rashida has been nothing short of life changing. When I first found Dr Rashida I was suffering from chronic TMJ pain and everything that goes with it. Debilitating headaches, neck pain, unbearable facial and jaw tenderness, ear fullness, locking of the joint and difficulty eating leading to severe weight loss. I had visited 10 dentists, three specialists, a surgeon, a neurologist for brain scans, physios, osteos, and chiropractors - I was desperate to find and answer and do anything relieve my pain...eventually I was told it may all just be in my head and to seek psychiatric help. The lack of worldwide knowledge on TMJ is terrifying, people are living in pain without any answers. If it wasn’t for Dr Rashida, I would still be in that place. From the moment I sat in front of her, it was clear she was the right doctor. Her in-depth knowledge of the disorder, her gentle and sympathetic manner and mostly importantly her absolute conviction that she could help was what encouraged me to stop all other treatments and be seen only by her.

After the first appointment I was immediately 50% better than I had been in years. We then embarked on a very complicated journey to restore my bite and undo the work that had been done by others with very little knowledge of the disorder.

We are now at the end of the TMJ journey and I am back to my old self. The pain has almost completely disappeared, I can live a normal life without medication and can also smile with confidence. I can not thank Dr Rashida enough. She is so much more than a dentist, this woman changes lives!”

Dr. Rashida is the most amazing person I ever met during my holiday in Mumbai. My smile got treated over 10 years ago, ‘touchwood’ my veneers are still intact never had any issues ahead, followed her advice throughout this journey. In the future if any concerns, I would always go back to Dr. Rashida to appreciate her flawless skills with her touch of magic. Also she isnt just any regular dentist, a person who always smiles at you and has the ability to enhance her skills over the years. She’s an inspiring woman to many.

Wardah khan

Dr. Rashida is hands down the best dentist in Dubai I have ever visisted. Her knowledge and passion for how our teeth can affect the whole body are unparalleled. I have never learned so much from a dentist even though I have seen so, so many dentists! I went in for the fastest and most efficient cleaning of my life. She showed me before and after pictures and explained the real importance of getting my teeth cleaned. Something that other dentists never do. Definitely a gem in her field. Make sure you go to her for all your dental work!
