When you visit our dental clinic every six months, you’ve come to expect an oral examination, a professional clean and polish, and a discussion about any concerns or treatment needs. But what you may not expect is for us to ask you how well you’re sleeping or if you have sustained energy throughout the day.
The truth is that we’re concerned about more than your teeth and gums; we genuinely care about your overall well-being.
So, can dental treatment improve sleep and energy levels?
Improving Your Overall Health: How Dentistry Can Help
Our dental clinic offers a wide range of treatment options to suit your needs, and some of those treatments could improve the way you sleep and how you feel throughout the day:
- Oral appliance therapy — If you suffer from sleep apnea, a custom mouthguard can gently shift your jaw forward. This small movement keeps your airway open, keeps you from snoring, and allows you to achieve deep, restful sleep without a CPAP machine.
- Nightguards for bruxism — Bruxism, or teeth grinding, can cause wear and tear on your teeth, a sore jaw, headaches, and other problems. With a custom nightguard, you can wake up feeling refreshed and eliminate many of your symptoms.
- Orthodontics — Traditional braces and clear aligner therapy can correct your bite issues and improve your smile’s appearance. And if you have restricted breathing because of your misaligned teeth, orthodontic treatment can help.
- Treating pain and infection — When tooth pain or gum infections are causing physical discomfort, you can’t get a good night’s sleep and function at your best. We’ll customize a treatment plan to restore your oral health so you can rest.
