What is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. This occurs when the muscles in the throat relax too much, causing the airway to become blocked and preventing oxygen from reaching the lungs.
Common symptoms include loud snoring, gasping for air during sleep, and excessive daytime fatigue. If left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to more serious health issues like high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential to improve sleep quality and overall health.
Why a TAP Device Might Be Right For You
Comfortable and
Easy to Use
The TAP device is custom-made for a perfect fit, providing comfort without the hassle of a mask or machine, making it easy to wear.
High Success
Rate
With over a 95% success rate, the TAP device effectively reduces sleep apnea symptoms, often providing noticeable relief from the first night.
Adjustable for Maximum
Effectiveness
The TAP is the only device that lets you adjust your jaw position while wearing it, allowing you to optimize your treatment for the best results.
Ideal CPAP
Alternative
For those who can’t tolerate CPAP, the TAP device offers a simpler, quieter, and more comfortable solution.
The TAP Device Process
1

We begin by evaluating the severity of your symptoms to determine if the TAP device is the right solution for you.

Impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom-fitted TAP device that will ensure comfort and effectiveness.
3
Fitting and
Adjustment
Once your TAP device is ready, we ensure a proper fit and teach you how to adjust it for optimal airway openness and relief.
4
Follow-Up and
Monitoring
We’ll monitor your progress, make any necessary adjustments, and ensure you’re experiencing the full benefits of the TAP device.
Meet Dr. Eddie Rodgers
Originally from Batesburg, SC, Dr. Rodgers grew up in Lexington County and always knew that he wanted to return to the area to raise his family and eventually to practice dentistry. His enthusiasm for the dental profession and his care for others is evident in the gracious, empathetic manner in which he treats all of his patients. Dr. Rodgers’ dedication to a high standard of healthcare is the foundation upon which Northwood Dental Associates is built.

My first visit was today...my tech was the best ever. Kept me entertained the entire process. Everyone was so friendly and couldn’t have had a better experience from front door to the dentist himself!

I can not say enough great things about Northwood Dental and their staff. They are always pleasant and Dr. Rodgers is just top notch. You are not a number, you are a person and they treat you with respect.
Summer J.
Very friendly hygienists and dentist. They do a great job. I have never had any pain going here because they are so careful, and I feel I can trust Dr. Rodgers unlike my last dentist who was clearly just out to make money.
Crystal L.
I can't praise this office enough! The staff is super friendly, knowledgeable, and understanding. The dentists are, hands down, the best in this area-my children are also patients.
