Louisville
Dental Sleep Medicine is dedicated to helping snorers, their bed partners
and sleep apnea sufferers through the use of FDA approved intra-oral
appliances. While snoring is not harmful to the snorer, it can be disruptive
to bed partners and other household members causing sleepless nights
and marital dischord. Loud, constant snoring can, however, be an indication
of a potentially life-threatening disease called obstructive sleep apnea.
Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when air cannot flow in or out of a person's
nose or mouth although efforts to breathe continue. These episodes of
breathing obstruction can disrupt sleep leading to daytime sleepiness
and can be the cause of cardiac problems.
Oral appliances reposition the jaw and tongue to a more forward position
during sleep. This helps keep the airway open controlling snoring and
minimizing obstructive sleep apnea leading to less loss of sleep, more
restful nights, less daytime fatigue and heart disease.
Dr John McCrillis of Louisville Dental Sleep Medicine is the first dentist
in Kentucky credentialed by the Certification Board of the Academy of
Dental Sleep Medicine in providing oral appliances for snoring and obstructive
sleep apnea.
