by PRC Agency PR

Do you snore so loud that you wake YOURSELF up? Is your sleep apnea negatively affecting your quality of life? You better get that checked – by your dentist!

Yes, you read that right. Most people don’t know that snoring treatments actually start from an understanding of one’s teeth!

With an estimated 10% of the American population suffering from mild obstructive sleep apnea, only a few understand that the condition can be caused by the constant grinding of one’s teeth at night, otherwise known as bruxism. That is why many sleep doctors often recommend seeing one’s dentist as well to formulate a more comfortable and efficient recovery plan. Aware of this, our team at Dr. Graham’s Dental Wellness Center announces that our snoring treatment has been further strengthened to include the latest research in myofunctional therapy.

According to Dr. Graham, general dentistry should cover any condition that may arise you’re your teeth – including bruxism. She explains that the disorder may prevent you from properly breathing in while sleeping, causing frequent pauses or interruptions during rest. The result can be as simple as heavy snoring to the more serious, such as a stroke.

Recent research shows that 22 million Americans suffer from moderate to severe sleep apnea. The condition is caused by a blocked airway either by the tongue rolling back or by a piece of collapsed tissue. With bruxism, you can force your tongue to curl up on itself, leading to sleep apnea.

If you suspect your sleep apnea to be related to your teeth grinding, a take-home bruxism test will be recommended. Once the test has been analyzed, an official sleep report will be written which can be presented to a primary physician. Treating your sleep apnea through the combined efforts of your primary care physician and dentist typically makes the recovery process faster and more comprehensive.
