TMJ & Headache Center, LLC Dr. Shokri Wahib, D.D.S Dr. Alexander Lambrinides D.D.S. General Dentists Services
TMJ Head, neck and facial pain affect a significant percentage of the population (one in every four Americans) seeking care for both acute and chronic pain in the medical model we deal with everyday. The majority of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) sufferers are women, although men, young children and adolescents are also affected... [ more ] Dental Sleep Medicine Sleep disordered breathing, snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affect more adults than asthma does, with an estimation of at least 90 million people being affected by at least one of the many disorders. Approximately 87 million Americans report that they snore, (Cleveland Clinic) and 32% of Americans report that they are sleeping 6 hours or less per night. Approximately 100 million people report feeling sleepy while driving. Excessive daytime sleepiness is a result of poor sleep, and causes an increase in motor vehicle accidents, an increase in work related accidents, poor job performance, memory loss, depression, and a general decrease in the quality of life. Patients with oral sleep apnea often suffer the additional consequences of hypertension, coronary heart disease and stroke. It is very important that any complaints of sleep difficulties be promptly evaluated by a medical doctor trained in sleep medicine. For the patients with OSA that are not able to tolerate CPAP, a referral to a dentist trained in sleep medicine can now offer other options. We can help! |
