Have you ever spent much time delving as deeply as possible into the far reaches of prevention? Did you ever think about the ways preventive care can protect your comfort on a daily basis, ensuring you make your way through the day without feeling tired or experiencing a headache? Patients are often shocked that these problems with feeling energized and simply feeling good throughout the days of the week are often easily addressed with dental care. Allow us to offer some insight.
Prevention To Protect Your Sleep
We always suggest that you keep up with your preventive care visits with us for a long list of reasons. The more obvious of those reasons include the goal of keeping your smile healthy and beautiful, as we clean your teeth and seek out common problems like tooth decay. However, we also seek out signs of sleep apnea in our patients, a common sleep disorder that can rob you of your nightly rest. With noninvasive, gentle therapy, we may return you to days full of energy (thanks to nights full of undisturbed, beneficial sleep).
Prevention To Avoid Headaches
Are you suffering from headaches? Has this simply become a part of your usual life? First, recognize that headaches are often a symptom of sleep apnea, so we may treat two problems for you at once. Headaches are also a common symptom of other issues we can treat with preventive care, such as bruxism (the habitual grinding or clenching of your teeth) or issues with jaw health (TMD). Keep up with your prevention at our practice, so we may offer treatment that allows you to make it through the day without reaching for a pain reliever.
