Do you wake up with a sore jaw? Or are you finding yourself tired before noon? If you struggle with your sleep, it may be as a result of a common overnight condition. Two of the five most prevalent sleep disorders relate to your oral health, so if you are not receiving a quality night of rest, it may be time to speak with your dentist about treatment.
Thankfully, there is a solution that can help you to take care of your nightly teeth grinding or chronic obstructive sleep apnea. At our office in Rowlett, TX, we offer treatment using an oral appliance, which brings you a non-invasive form of care. This slim BPA-free night guard can protect you from the damages that your common sleep disorder causes, all without the use of surgery. If you struggle with nightly teeth grinding and associated temporomandibular joint dysfunction, your oral appliance will be a barrier to prevent the collision of your enamel. This approach can also be beneficial in keeping your airway free overnight, so talk with your dentist about treatment for your obstructive sleep apnea!
