Chronic teeth grinding, medically referred to as bruxism, can cause several complications, not least of which is sleep apnea. Addressing the possible dental aspect of sleep apnea, Dr. Graham’s Dental Wellness Center announces that its therapies have been further updated.

The new treatment includes a home bruxism sleep test that can be reviewed and analyzed by a certified sleep specialist. An official report can then be made for a physician to further review. According to Dr. Graham’s Dental Wellness Center, a holistic recovery plan to sleep apnea should be considered – particularly if the underlying cause is grinding or clenching of teeth at night.
Bruxism is a leading cause of tooth damage today; however, it often goes unnoticed or is misdiagnosed because of the general wear and tear that teeth go through every day. That said, patients should suspect that they have the condition if they suddenly have worn, chipped, or broken teeth, broken or damaged oral appliances such as dentures, sore jaw muscles and joints, and ringing ears or earaches.
Sleep apnea, on the other hand, is usually characterized by loud snoring. The condition causes the obstruction of the airways during sleep, resulting in frequent pauses or interruptions in breathing. If left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to several health issues, including heart disease and high blood pressure.
Patients who believe that they have either or both conditions should speak with their general dentist. At Dr. Graham’s Dental Wellness Center, treatment plans may be crafted depending on the severity of the condition. Some sleep apnea can be treated with an oral appliance that keeps the airways open during sleep.
Patients are encouraged to schedule an appointment at the clinic at least a day before their intended date. This is to limit the number of patients inside the clinic at any given time.
Dr. Graham’s Dental Wellness Center is one of the most trusted names in general dentistry in the area. It also offers teeth whitening, Invisalign, dental cleaning, and other cosmetic dentistry services.
