Why is my dentist talking to me about sleep?

Many people tend to think that their dentist is just concerned with their teeth and oral hygiene. Though that is true, Dr. Zeringue, along with the hygienists and the whole dental staff, are concerned about the overall health of the patients that we see. Dr. Zeringue, backed by a trained team, are able to identify certain signs of sleep related disorder by just taking one look in your mouth and asking a few simple questions.

For some patients with a sleep disorder, a dental appliance is the preferred method of treatment over a CPAP.

If you have, or suspect that you have a sleep disorder, we can help! We are ready to listen, discuss, assist, and educate you if you need!

CPAP machines aren’t the only form of sleep disorder treatment.
