Say "Goodnight" to snoring

Snoring is not uncommon -- over 80 million Americans snore -- but it no longer has to mean sleepless nights for family members who don't snore. A simple device, available through our office, can reduce or even eliminate snoring in many cases.

How does it work?
Snoring occurs when the muscles in the throat constrict causing air to be inhaled quickly and through a smaller passage. This distorts breathing and results in strong blasts of air and noise.

The appliance is comfortable to wear, yet it repositions the tongue and lower jaw to open airways and reduce the snoring noise.

It's made for you.
This device can be fit to your mouth based on impressions of your teeth. Because it's custom-made, the fit allows freedom of movement.


Call our office for more information on how you can sleep more peacefully.

BMS:
Burning mouth syndrome

If you often feel that your mouth is very hot or on fire you may having Burning Mouth syndrome.

Long overlooked as a serious condition, BMS afflicts more than a million people. Several causes for BMS have recently been identified.

Medications -- more than 400 commonly prescribed medications report burning mouth and dryness as a side effect.

Diabetes -- which makes patients vulnerable to BMS and gum disease.

Sjogren's Syndrome -- A condition causing extreme dryness of the mouth and eyes and increased susceptibility to infection.

Vitamin deficiency -- especially B-complex vitamins.

Hormonal imbalance

If your mouth frequently feels as though it's "on fire," we'll schedule an appointment for a thorough examination. Together we should be able to put the fire out.

Thank you for all your referrals. We appreciate them!
