Regaining A Good Night’s Sleep is Possible!
Did you know that approximately 40 million people in the US are estimated to suffer from a sleep disorder, according to researchers from the National Sleep Foundation? Of these cases, nearly half include the presence of sleep apnea. Unfortunately, a whopping 80% of all sleep apnea cases have either been misdiagnosed or gone undiagnosed entirely. That’s why we’re here to help.
Why Should I See a Dentist for Sleep Apnea Treatment?
While sleep apnea used to be solely treated through the consistent use of a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) system, oral appliance therapy is becoming much more common and effective – and who knows your mouth better than an experienced dentist like Dr. Hutto? Dentists are the only medical professionals who have been specifically trained in the design and placement of custom-made oral appliances. These “nightguards” work because they comfortably shift the jaw and/or tongue away from the patient’s airway, allowing for easy, uninterrupted breathing and far fewer apnea episodes.
At Sleep Better Baytown, Dr. Hutto is happy to work in close partnership with exceptional sleep physicians in order to help patients finally get the good night’s rest they deserve. Your wellbeing means the world to us!
