Researchers from Taiwan reported this week that people who had their teeth professionally cleaned at least twice a year had a 24% lower risk of heart attack and a 13% lower risk of stroke compared to those who did not visit the dentist. Drs. Emily Chen and Hsin-Bang Leu reviewed medical data on over 51,000 adults who had their teeth […]

The symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea can sometimes mimic those of mental illness – lethargy, irritability, forgetfulness. When those suffering from depression or another form of mental illness also have obstructive sleep apnea it can make the mental illness worse and possibly contribute to manic episodes. Unfortunately, screening for sleep disorders in psychiatric patients is rarely done. A new study […]

Sleep disordered breathing such as sleep apnea has been shown to increase the risk of heart arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation (afib). A study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology showed that the risk of having an abnormal heartbeat were 18 times higher immediately after an apnea episode compared to during normal sleep breathing. The apnea did […]

A Swedish study has proven that the size of our jaws decrease with age causing crowded teeth in older adults. The study began in 1949 with plaster molds of the jaws of dental students, ten years later this was repeated.

Former Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell talked to Sports Illustrated about the twists and turns his career has taken.

Then meetings come, […]

The risks of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are greater for female patients who are pregnant with multiple babies.

OSA stands for obstructive sleep apnea which is a condition associated with snoring and daytime sleepiness. OSA sufferers stop breathing many times each night because their airways collapse and stop the passage of air. It is estimated that almost 90% of people who suffer from this disease have not been diagnosed. A group of researchers in India found that OSA […]

Chipped teeth are a common problem we see in our office.

Even though the importance of healthy gums for diabetic patients has been well documented a new report in the British Dental Journal has confirmed that most diabetes patients do not understand the link.

Living with your cellphone glued to your ear has now been linked to tinnitus. No, the ringing you may hear is not another call coming in but is a persistent noise or buzzing in the ears called tinnitus.

Gastro-esophageal reflux disease, more commonly known as acid reflux, is common among patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Choosing to treat obstructive sleep apnea with oral appliance therapy may allow patients to “kill two birds with one stone” as they say. It appears that using an oral appliance may also reduce acid reflux symptoms. A small study looked at dental patients […]

I have talked about the health hazards that come along with not getting enough sleep or when living with an untreated sleep breathing disorder like obstructive sleep apnea. A new research study reinforces the idea that getting a good night’s sleep is important. Resarchers reported in the Journal of Experimental Psychology that people may be learning while they are sleeping. […]

When a patient calls with a “toothache” the detective work begins. While the top reasons for toothache are cavities or gum disease there are other causes for oral pain. A thorough examination, including x-rays, is needed to diagnose the cause of the pain. Usually our examination will show obvious dental decay or an abscess that is the cause of the […]

Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night to visit the bathroom? This is called nocturia and new research suggests that nighttime urination frequency can help doctors screen for sleep apnea. Nocturia and sleep apnea have been linked before but this is the first time researchers have sought to discover whether it can predict if someone suffers […]

Three out of four high school students report that they don’t get enough sleep.

This study suggests that these teens may be able to prevent or slow the development […]
