Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a breathing disorder, which occurs during sleep, due to the narrowing or total closure of the airway.

Do you snore or have trouble sleeping at night? You may be suffering from sleep apnea. At Harmony Dental Arts we treat snoring as well as help to control sleep apnea. Sleep Apnea is a disease process that can affect daytime and nighttime breathing. Due to our anatomic form, when we sleep our lower jaw and tongue may fall backwards as we sleep. This decreases or prevents airflow and causes a series of problems. We can assess the condition by using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, your body mass index, and your neck circumference. Treating this problem can improve your quality of life. Call us to set up an appointment.

How healthy are you? According to Health Quest, nutritional surveys have revealed that nine out of ten Americans fail to eat the fruits and vegetables necessary to maintain perfect health. Along with brushing twice a day and flossing, Dr. Sokolina from Harmony Dental Arts recommends visiting your dentist regularly for periodontal maintenance (cleanings), decreasing your sugar intake, and incorporating an adequate amount of vitamins into your diet.
The vitamins strengthen the immune system, by strengthening blood vessels, increasing blood flow, and fighting free radicals. Vitamin C for instance, produces more collagen, which makes teeth more resistant to bacteria. Some of the many benefits of include heart, brain, bone, and joint health. Våitamins, as well as visiting your dentist regularly will create strong teeth, gums, and overall health.
