YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
Simply put, if you have sleep apnea you are not breathing with ease or providing your body with the oxygen it requires. This can lead to (or you may already have) serious health problems which may ultimately result in death.
It is estimated that 22 million people are suffering from sleep apnea and 80% of these people are living undiagnosed.
Our team is motivated in researching and utilizing the most effective treatments available for sleep apnea, in order to improve and save lives. We have treated many sleep apnea patients right here at Milford Dental Excellence.
If you find that you are experiencing several of these symptoms, you may be a good candidate for sleep evaluation either through our office or a sleep clinic. We encourage you to make your appointment today. It could save your life.
