It is coming.....a pill to treat sleep apnea. It will work best for patients with severe sleep apnea but it will come with some side effects not everyone can tolerate. One of the main side effects; dry mouth- which will make patients more susceptible to dental cavities and gum issues. The other important thing this pill will do is create awareness. Awareness of sleep apnea in general and the importance of treating your sleep apnea.
Many with severe sleep apnea will find benefit with the pill but will it totally do away with their issue? Probably not and that is why what we as dentists do will be more popular. It will help manage and lessen their disorder but they will most likely be left with mild sleep apnea which is where oral appliances tend to shine! Read the article to learn more.

A once-nightly pill cut breathing interruptions by about 44% in a major phase 3 sleep apnea trial, while improving oxygen levels and disease severity. By strengthening the muscles that keep the airway open during sleep, AD109 could offer a new option for people unable to tolerate CPAP.

As LeAnn Rimes' viral video of her "emotional TMJ release" goes crazy it is a good time to remind everyone how unique and complicated the TM joints are. Jaw tension can come from a number of causes and those types of procedures do not always address the root cause.

If you watch any other videos of her and this situation it will become clear she suffers from bruxism- a parafunctional activity of clenching/grinding your teeth. This most likely also contributed to her "tooth falling out" during one of her concerts. It appears she has multiple crowns therefore it was most likely a crown came off, not her tooth falling out.

There are multiple reasons for chronic bruxism but the most common and most destructive comes from struggling to breathe at night- or sleep apnea. Oxygen is THE MOST important thing to our body and our body will do everything it can to get it and survive. Sleep apnea comes in all kinds of people, not just heavy set men with big necks. In women it can cause mood disturbances, anxiety, heart palpatations and yes, bruxism, just to name a few.

It is important to be evaluated by someone who understands this complex set of joints and formulates a treatment plan that can uncover root causes and provide relief. Most dentists do not have this understanding by just going to dental school. It takes additional training. Yes, muscle tension is a real part of TMJ disorders but a temporary painful release may not be long lasting if the joints are not supported after and the root cause uncovered.

This is why our office exists. We can help and even get you in the hands of talented professional people who can help relieve that muscle tension, but maybe in a less emotional and painful looking way....
