Grind Your Teeth? Discover Oral Appliance Therapy

Posted by

grind your teeth el paso txIf you find that you are tired even before lunchtime, it could be a sign of a common sleep disorder that is holding you back. Two of the five most prevalent of these conditions are related to oral wellness, and while they occur in a slightly different area, both can cause real problems for your everyday experience. Chronic obstructive sleep apnea can lead to poor sleep and an increase in risk of serious health problems such as heart attack and stroke; bruxism is the other common sleep disorder involving oral health, and this can cause enamel erosion and a change to the alignment of your smile when you grind your teeth.

Here at Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry in El Paso, TX, we know how much of a struggle it can be to deal with poor rest, and we want to help you find a comfortable treatment for your sleep disorder. Whether you are experiencing the signs of bruxism or the symptoms of chronic sleep apnea, take the time to come into our office for a visit.
