Sleep safer, feel better, improve your health

Dentistry for healthy sleep

Restful sleep is the foundation for whole-body health. But a good night’s sleep relies on breathing easily throughout the night.

Our office helps adults and children who are suffering from airway issues like sleep apnea and sleep-disordered breathing. We provide modern treatments to ensure you and your family are not only getting the restful sleep you need but are sleeping safely and living life comfortably.

Airway issues our dentists treat



Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a medical condition where a person stops breathing dozens (or even hundreds) of times every night due to an airway blockage. This is a dangerous condition with negative consequences for both your quality of life and your health, including high blood pressure, heart attack, and brain injury.

Common symptoms of sleep apnea:

Waking at night to use the bathroom
Restless sleep
Daytime sleepiness
Difficulty concentrating
Severe morning headaches
Unexplained and sudden changes in mood



Pediatric Sleep Disordered Breathing

Pediatric sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is a general term for kids who have breathing difficulties during sleep. SDB ranges from mild snoring to obstructive sleep apnea. SDB is also often a root cause of many other issues — from bedwetting and nightmares to chronic allergies, problems focusing, and depression.

Common symptoms of pediatric sleep disordered breathing:

Mouth breathing/Snoring
Tooth grinding
Swollen adenoids/tonsils
ADD/ADHD
Academic challenges
Delayed/stunted growth
Restless sleep
Morning headaches
Crowded teeth

Sleep dentistry treatments at Macquarie Family Dental

Our dentists are your partners in the early diagnosis of sleep disorders, including OSA and SDB. Since sleep issues often present symptoms in the teeth, jaw, and mouth, we can help detect airway issues before or as they are starting.

Our office provides modern, comfortable sleep apnea and sleep disordered breathing treatments.

Oral Appliance

Our sleep apnea appliances are small, comfortable, and custom-made to fit your mouth.

We recommend an appliance for adults with mild to moderate symptoms or for those who cannot tolerate a CPAP machine. Worn like a retainer or mouth guard, this appliance keeps your airway open and clear all night long.

{

I have been going to Macquarie family dental for many years. I can not speak highly enough of their service. Always punctual with time, communicate clearly about what they are doing and are always warm, friendly and welcoming . My kids never have any issues going to the dentist because they have always had a positive experience here and look forward to going back to have their ‘teeth cleaned’. Absolute professionals and could not recommend them enough.

Answers to your questions

Does dental insurance cover sleep appliances?

Call us or your health insurance provider to learn more.

Do I have sleep apnea if I snore?

Snoring is often a sign of sleep apnea, but not everyone who snores has sleep apnea. If you snore, make sure to tell us during your routine exam so we can evaluate your risk.

Can you fix sleep apnea naturally?

There are many lifestyle factors that put you at higher risk for sleep apnea. By eliminating these risks, you may be able to help naturally fix your sleep apnea:

Stop smoking
Stop drinking alcohol
Maintaining a healthy weight
Alter your sleep position

Will my child grow out of their sleep-disordered breathing condition?

If not treated, the width of your child’s airway will often worsen over time, making it increasingly challenging to breathe at night and live their day-to-day lives comfortably.
