Sleep Apnea & Your Oral Health
At Dental Arts, we know a healthy smile can only happen with a healthy night of sleep. In patients with sleep apnea, the muscles in the throat relax during sleep causing the airways to become blocked. We provide oral appliance therapy to help treat sleep apnea. Our oral appliances can reposition your jaw to prevent the airways from becoming blocked. With clear airways, you can enjoy a better night's sleep and prevent other health issues from arising.
Tongue Tie Surgery and what you need to know
A frenectomy, also known as tongue tie surgery, is a medical procedure performed to address a condition where the strip of skin beneath the tongue is shorter than usual, limiting the tongue's range of motion. This condition is commonly referred to as a "tongue tie."
Tethered oral tissues (TOTs) are a common problem among infants struggling to nurse or bottle feed. These oral tissues can inhibit the mouth functioning in the proper manner and prevent successful latching.
