One common misconception for those who suffer from sleep apnea and bruxism is that dentists are limited in the types of treatment that they can provide for these conditions, if even at all.
Truth is, your dentist can be one of your greatest allies in alleviating your symptoms.
Left unchecked, sleep apnea can lead to complications such as:
Daytime fatigue
High blood pressure
Heart problems
Type 2 diabetes
Liver problems
As for bruxism, complications may include:
Damage to teeth
Tension-type headaches
Severe facial or jaw pain
Clicking sounds when you open/close your mouth
Lake Harbor Dental can assist you with alleviating the symptoms of your sleep apnea and bruxism by providing custom-fit dental night guards and oral appliance therapy. After assessing your particular condition, our dentistry experts will come up with a treatment plan that’s just right for you.
