Sleep Apnea the silent killer. Dental treatment for this problem in Shelby, Michigan

http://www.thegentledentist.com/sleep_disorders.htm Ever since one of our patients had her son die from complications for obstructive sleep apnea I vowed to not only become more knowledgeable, but to help educate and treat those who have sleep apnea (the stoppage of breathing at night during sleep).

50-70 million Americans suffer from chronic sleep disorders, including snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea but only 15% know about it. Excessive Daytime Sleepiness alone costs $150 billion annually in lost productivity and mishaps, and another $48 billion in medical costs related to motor vehicle accidents that involve drowsy drivers. Almost 20% of all serious car crash injuries are associated with driver Excessive Daytime Sleepiness, independent of alcohol effects.
