Do you attempt to wake them\nonly to realize it\u2019s proving more difficult than you\u2019d expect? It might be that\nthey are having a night terror. This inherited disorder can be caused due to different\nfactors, but if you also notice that they are having difficulty breathing, it\nmay be that they are suffering from a sleep disorder \u2013 a common cause of night\nterrors in children. To help your child breathe better and no longer fear going\nto sleep at night, find out how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prachdds.com\/healthy-start.html\">HealthyStart in Casper<\/a>\ncan be a game-changer for you and your family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Night Terrors?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a child enters a deep sleep state and is having dreams\nthat cause them to experience difficulty waking up, this is what is known as a\nnight terror. Children who have this disorder often scream, get out of bed, or\nthrash around. As an adult, witnessing your son or daughter have a night terror\nmay be scary or disturbing, but take comfort in knowing they are virtually harmless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is highly likely that your child may never remember their\ndream, which makes this type of disorder much different than a traditional\nnightmare experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Causes Them to Occur for Children?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most common reason that night terrors occur in children\nis that it is inherited. If you or the child\u2019s other parent had this disorder\nas a kid, it increases the risk of your little one also having them. Typically,\nthey go away before or by the age of 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, if this is not the case for your child, it may be possible\nthat the night terrors are the result of a sleep disorder such as obstructive\nsleep apnea (OSA), which prevents the brain from receiving adequate oxygen while\nasleep. This is most often the case if these dreams are recurring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is HealthyStart\u2122 and How Can it Help?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HealthyStart\u2122 is used by many dentists throughout the\ncountry to help children suffering from Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB). These\noral appliances are designed to influence the growth and development of a child\u2019s\njaw and teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your child is susceptible to night terrors, the HealthyStart\u2122 system\ncan be used to curb symptoms and episodes, allowing your child to not only\nbreathe easier but rest more peacefully. The custom-made appliances work to\nreposition the tongue, jaw, and teeth so they more properly align and enable\ntheir airway to remain open throughout the night while asleep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although night terrors may go away by the time\nyour child is a pre-teen, the effects of SDB can carry well into adulthood.\nThis is why it is important to begin the HealthyStart\u2122 program\nsooner rather than later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you believe your child is suffering from\nnight terrors and is also having difficulty breathing while sleeping, talk to\nyour dentist as soon as possible. The earlier treatment begins, the more rest\nyou and your child will receive at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About the Author <\/strong><br>Dr. Erin Prach completed her studies at Eastern Washington University and the University of Colorado\u2019s School of Dental Medicine.
