Sleep apnea and airway issues have become a major focus for Sanders Family Dental.  When left untreated, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can reduce your life expectancy by 7 - 10 years.  The first signs that someone may have an airway obstruction while they sleep can be seen in and around the teeth.  Wear on the teeth, acid erosion, high blood pressure, diabetes, periodontal disease and many other signs and symptoms are indications to have a sleep study completed to determine if you have an airway disturbance while you sleep.  Snoring can be annoying to your spouse, but it may be a much bigger issue than just loud sleepers.  Ask us today about getting you a home sleep study directly from our office.
