If you find that you’re tired before lunchtime, it could be due to your oral health. Two of the five most prevalent sleep disorders in this country relate to the structure of the mouth and throat, and they can really make it tough to wake up in the morning. The first of these, chronic obstructive sleep apnea, happens when your throat tissue becomes soft enough to block your airway, preventing you from having the oxygen that you need. The other is bruxism, which is the unconscious grinding and gnashing of teeth during sleep. Both of these can be addressed through oral appliance therapy, providing a simple and convenient sleep solution.
Here at Sunny Smiles, we appreciate the opportunity to be a part of your journey. And if your sleep has been holding you back, then it’s time to talk to an oral health team about finding a comfortable form of treatment. We are proud to offer oral appliance therapy as an option for bruxism and obstructive sleep apnea, so come see our office to find out if it’s right for you.
