Sleep Apnea
We prioritize the overall health of our patients, including their sleep health. There are several sleep disruptive disorders that can cause a lack of oxygen at night, ultimately leading to serious health issues. Studies show that those with these disorders are 23 times more likely to experience a heart attack than the average person. Furthermore, a shocking 92% of stroke victims suffer from apnea without even knowing it before their attack. As professionals, we are dedicated to identifying and treating these issues to ensure the safety and well-being of our patients.
Teeth Grinding
Teeth are composed of one of the hardest substances in the human body and have the ability to resist significant amounts of force. However, without proper protection, these highly mineralized surfaces can become damaged over time, particularly when subjected to grinding forces. The habitual clenching and grinding of teeth can lead to substantial harm to teeth, muscles, and jaw joints. It is imperative to safeguard against abrasive forces when dealing with these types of cases.
