The Importance of Restful Sleep

Sleep is a fundamental pillar of overall health, affecting everything from cognitive function and mood to physical well-being.

Disturbances in sleep, particularly those linked to airway issues, can have ripple effects throughout the body, and may cause a host of other unwanted and sometimes debilitating problems.

Many people have issues that they may not even know are a direct result of a lack of quality sleep!

Who Are These Treatments For? 

Sleep disorders can affect anyone, but some individuals may be more prone due to:

  • Genetics
  • Anatomical factors like a narrow airway or enlarged tonsils
  • Lifestyle factors, such as obesity or alcohol consumption

Signs You May Suffer from Sleep Apnea

If you’re experiencing any of these signs or symptoms, it may be time to seek professional solutions:

  • Chronic snoring
  • Pauses in breathing or choking during sleep
  • Excessive daytime fatigue or sleepiness
  • Difficulty concentrating during the day
  • Morning headaches

Our Diagnostic Tools

Getting to the root cause is essential, and at Connolly Family Dentistry, we have the latest technologies to properly diagnose and treat sleep conditions:

  • iCAT FLX: Identifying obstructions or abnormalities in the airways is crucial for understanding sleep disturbances, and our advanced imaging tool helps us do just that.
  • Joint Vibration Analysis: Also utilized for TMD, Joint Vibration Analysis can sometimes offer insights into nighttime jaw clenching, which can disrupt sleep.

Our Commitment To Quality, Affordable Care

At Connolly Family Dentistry, we believe that access to quality dental care and treatment should not be prevented due to a lack of affordability. As fellow members of the Sewell community, we are committed to making sure that all patients that come through our office are entitled to treatment options that are as affordable as possible.

We will work to maximize your out-of-network dental benefits, though we are currently not in network with any major insurance plans. That said, many times out-of-network benefits provide benefits that are comparable, if not more beneficial than in-network coverage. Please don’t hesitate to contact our staff to learn more about your coverage and options!

Proper oral hygiene and treatment are essential components of you and your family’s overall health, and it has been widely shown that failure to maintain proper oral health can lead to more serious health conditions and related complications. As part of our commitment to serving our community, we also offer several financing options to meet the needs of every patient.
