Dr. Urban  on Today’s Dentistry/Feeling tired all the time?

Sleep Apnea is a serious medical issue.  A person may sleep 8 hours yet feel very tired when morning arrives.  The oxygen deprivation can damage tissues and organs resulting in strokes, heart disease and hypertension and can even cause death. A dentist can make a snore guard or mouth appliance that can assist with breathing by keeping the air passage open.  Please click on the article below. It was written and published in the Cerritos Newspaper in 2010 but the facts are still the same.

Dr. Urban on Today’s Dentistry / Taking Ownership of Your Oral Health

It is never normal to see indications of bleeding in the mouth. Studies have indicated that bacteria are the reason for many problems in the mouth. Bacteria can cause the teeth to decay but it can also promote bacteria growth around the root structure causing damage. The damage is not just to the mouth but it can also affect the heart and other autoimmune diseases. Studies have indicated that managing the bacteria that can grow in the mouth along with good oral care can prevent it from spreading in the body, into the heart etc. Diabetes can be more manageable when the bacteria are eliminated in the mouth.
