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/Think Bacteria

How do we combat bacteria in the mouth? Bacteria are the main cause for dental caries (cavities) and periodontal disease. These bacteria can affect the immune system and make it harder to combat other health issues. Getting control over the bacteria in the mouth can help make it easier for the body to overcome other physical diseases.
