How A Dentist Spots Signs of Sleep Disordered Breathing...& How is it Treated?
Do you know someone who snores, grinds their teeth, or feels unrefreshed after a night of sleep? Sleep disordered breathing affects millions of Americans, both children and adults, but many do not know the signs or symptoms, and it is estimated about 80% of people with SDB have not been diagnosed. Dentists are uniquely positioned to evaluate the structure of the jaws and palate, as well as the functional tongue space. Come learn about the ways your dentist can help you (or your child) to breathe, sleep, and thrive. Presentation by Dr. Hillary V. Knight of Harbor Country Dental in New Buffalo, MI.
