What is Airway Dentistry?
Airway dentistry is used to assess the structure of the mouth and determine how it affects breathing. During your appointment, our airway dentist will evaluate your mouth for the signs of mouth breathing during sleep, including tongue position, tooth wear, and the condition of tissues within the mouth. This will help our team determine a need for prevention or treatment of sleep disorders like sleep apnea.
At Pinewood Family Dental, we recommend a thorough airway dentistry screening for any patients experiencing issues with breathing during sleep. Our caring team will ensure your comfort throughout the process, and work with you to provide the solutions you need!
What are the Signs of Sleep Apnea?
Patients who suffer from sleep apnea often experience the following symptoms:
- Constant Fatigue
- Heavy Snoring
- Loss of Breath While Sleeping
- Difficulty Breathing While Sleeping
- Lack of Energy
- Irritability & Mood Swings
- Depression
- Dry Throat
- Weight Gain
It's important to seek treatment right away if you suspect you may have a sleep disorder. If left untreated, sleep apnea can put patients at a higher risk of additional health conditions including heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, and more.
