Michael Douglas is again appearing in public following treatment for a tumor at the base of his tongue. After seven weeks of intense radiation and chemotherapy it has been reported that the tumor is gone. Mr. Douglas’ tumor was discovered at a dangerously late stage and was too large to be removed with surgery. Unfortunately mouth and throat cancers are […]

Lots of good things happen while we’re sleeping. Our skin repairs itself, memories are fixed in our minds, new learning is placed in long-term storage in our brains and deep sleep energizes our immune systems. Being deprived of deep sleep has just the opposite effect on the immune system. Even just a few days of sleep deprivation, total or partial, […]

Frequently waking up during the night to urinate may be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea. While the condition, known as nocturia has previously been linked to sleep apnea it is not currently used as a screening tool. New research may change this. The research study looked at patients seeking diagnosis and treatment at two New Mexico sleep centers. The […]

Millions of people suffer from obstructive sleep apnea but are unaware they have the condition. The three main warning signs of sleep apnea are: Loud snoring Pauses in breathing during sleep Frequently waking, gasping for air Extreme tiredness during the day – even after a full night of sleep Not everyone who snores needs to visit a sleep specialist but […]

Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition that severely complicates the lives of those who suffer from the disease. Just getting a proper diagnosis and finding a method of treatment that is effective and can be tolerated by the patient is difficult as well. While CPAP is the first therapy prescribed to patients, over half cannot tolerate sleeping with the masks, […]

For the first time in almost 50 years the federal government will reduce the recommended levels for fluoride in water supplies. While fluoride in drinking water is credited with slashing the rates of tooth decay it seems that some kids are getting too much. About 40% of adolescents have spots or streaks on their teeth because of too much fluoride. […]

There is an old saying – you only need to floss the teeth you want to keep! Most of the population doesn’t seem to take that wisdom to heart. A study in 2008 found that less than half of Americans floss daily and 10% NEVER floss. Flossing is even more important than brushing when it comes to preventing gum disease […]

Brushing, flossing and maintaining good oral health are important for everyone. For patients with diabetes, however, maintaining healthy teeth and gums is critical. Patients with diabetes are three times for more likely to contract periodontal disease and tooth decay. Unfortunately, the presence of gum disease also makes controlling blood sugar more difficult. One of the complications of diabetes is the […]

Do you make New Year’s Resolutions each year? How many times have you actually kept one of your resolutions? Most of us don’t last long with resolutions because they tend to involve meeting pretty big goals that we have set for ourselves:Lose 20 pounds Work out 5 days per week Quit smoking Stop nagging my spouse Lose 20 pounds Here […]

Obstructive sleep apnea typically occurs because the tongue and throat muscles relax during sleep, collapsing and blocking the airway. The sleeper then awakens, gasps and falls back asleep. This cycle keeps repeating, sometimes 30 or more times per hour. The sleeper is left exhausted, but usually with no memories of the events. Scientists are now beginning tests to see if […]

In the US more than $50 billion is spent each year on the treatment of cavities and tooth decay is a major public health problem worldwide. Prevention of cavities has made great strides over the past several decades. Fluoride added to toothpaste, mouthwash and municipal water supplies has proven to be one of the most effective ways to prevent decay. […]

Dr. Fulvio Braido of the University of Genoa in Italy made a presentation at the World Allergy Organization 2010 International Conference that explored the link between asthma and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Dr. Braido suggests that one disease may cause the other or that they may share a common cause. He also feels that asthma complicates the treatment of OSA […]

An advisory panel to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) met on December 15 and recommended that the FDA examine all relevant evidence when it reviews the 2009 ruling it made that concluded that mercury dental amalgams were safe. The panel said that the FDA needs to look “not at just certain studies but all scientifically sound studies” when undertaking […]

There was a terrific article on NYTimes.com a few days ago about the trial and error method that most people go through trying to put an end to their snoring. Many people who snore are pressured by their sleep-deprived bed-mates to discover a solution. Lifestyle and sleep hygiene solutions for reducing snoring include: Weight Loss Sleep on your side, not […]

An advisory panel at the Food and Drug Administration will look at a study that claims that 67 million Americans with silver, mercury-based dental amalgam fillings are being exposed to levels of mercury that exceed EPA guidelines. The study was commissioned by a group promoting mercury-free dentistry. The review will focus on the potential risks to pregnant women, fetuses and […]

Do you crunch on the ice in your soft drinks? Can’t wait to get to the center of that Tootsie Pop so you bite instead of lick? Both are common ways that people chip their teeth. Other people grind or clench teeth, many times at night so they don’t even realize they are doing it until their dentist sees damage. […]

The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety surveyed drivers in the US and an astounding two out of every five drivers (41%) admitted falling asleep behind the wheel. Ten percent of drivers said they had done so during the past year. These are frightening statistics when crash data shows that one in six fatal crashes involve drowsy driving. There are many […]

Yet another reason to get those old mercury amalgam fillings out of your mouth. The November issue of the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease states that inorganic mercury, the type found in dental amalgams, likely is a contributing cause of Alzheimer’s disease. A systematic review of 106 studies found that the symptoms and features of Alzheimer’s disease were reproduced, or occurred […]

According to a study presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America, people suffering from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have more “bad” plaque in their coronary arteries. Obstructive sleep apnea is may be associated with obesity and is caused when the upper airway becomes obstructed during sleep causing the sleeper to stop breathing. Heavy snoring […]

At your next dental appointment you may be asked some questions that your dentist has never asked before. Among these questions: Do you snore? Do you feel tired all day long? Ever fallen asleep while driving? Do you wake up with headaches and a sore throat? Answering yes to several of the screening questions similar to the ones listed may […]
