Getting a good night's sleep is essential to good health! If you or your partner's sleep is being disrupted by a sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) problem, such as snoring or sleep apnea, you could be at risk of developing a host of health problems - some quite serious!
The primary reason behind many SDB problems is the way the tongue, jaw and other tissues in the mouth and throat are positioned. For this reason, dentists with the right training are uniquely qualified to provide safe, non-surgical, and highly effective treatment options.
If you or someone you love suffers from non-restful sleep, consult your primary healthcare provider or make an appointment with us for a dental sleep exam. Proper diagnosis and treatment, if warranted, can improve your quality of life and increase your life expectancy!
Seventy million Americans suffer from sleep disorders according to Carl E. Hunt, Director, National Center on Sleep Disorders Research.
The result is a huge sleep debt that if left untreated can put you at increased risk of diabetes, hypertension, stroke, heart attack, auto accidents and workplace injuries! |
