Dr. Raskin just attended another series of lectures from the American Academy Of Dental Sleep Medicine.  This is an academy that focuses on sleep disorders.  Many people suffer from sleep problems. Snoring and Sleep Apnea ( when a person stops breathing for a few moments during sleep) can be treated by multiple medical and dental means.  Often a CPAP devices is recommended. When they do not work your doctor might suggest an oral appliance called a MRD that can help decrease your snoring and apnea. Sleep apnea can contribute to high blood pressure. It can increase your chance of a stroke and puts extra strain on your heart. If you feel that you might be suffering from a sleep disorder, you owe it to yourself to check it out.

There are many fearful patient that want to get their dental work completed but are just too afraid. From fillings to gum treatments to implant surgery, we now offer the option of I.V. Conscious sedation. Check out the web pages on sedation for a complete explanation on how it works.  If you are fearful to have dental work, ask us how your visit can be anxiety free.

If you have any questions about implants or other areas of dentistry, you can e-mail them to me at drraskin@advanceddds.com
