LOS ANGELES, March 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Sleeping is
one of the most fundamental biological necessities of the human
race. Though people in different cultures and locales approach
those needs differently, all people must sleep, and we approach
this need in much the same way. Sleep is such a natural phenomenon
that we hardly notice it unless we aren't getting it. Though the
reasons for sleep deprivation are long and varied, one common cause
of poor sleep is the unconscious clenching or grinding of the teeth
which can disturb sleep cycles. When it comes to treating sleep
issues, a dentist might not be the first professional to come to
mind, however a highly experienced center like Calabasas Dental
Group and California Dental Care is able to provide effective
treatments for this issue for a better night's sleep.
Sleep deprivation and poor sleep are more than just
inconveniences. In addition causing energy problems and making it
difficult to get through the day, poor sleep increases stress on
the body and can cause a faster standing pulse, anxiety, increased
blood pressure, and lower the resilience of the immune system
making it more likely to contract illnesses. Poor sleep can also be
dangerous and lead to accidents or injury; particularly on the
road. Drowsy driving causes over 100,000 police reported crashes,
71,000 injuries, and 1,550 deaths each year, according the National
Highway Safety Administration. Clearly, chronic sleeplessness
should be taken seriously and addressed no matter what the
cause.
Interestingly enough, a common cause of poor sleep can actually
be traced to a dental issue. Many people clinch or grind their
teeth while they sleep. These actions are subconscious and normally
unbeknownst to the person engaging in the behavior. They often
prevent a proper sleep cycling, resulting in less REM sleep, which
can culminate in increased restlessness in the morning. This
condition may seem difficult to treat medically due to the lack of
control and awareness on the part of the patient, however, as a
dental issue, the solution is also dental in nature.
Calabasas Dental Group and California Dental Care provide proven
and effective sleep apnea treatment in Los Angeles for patients
losing sleep due to teeth clenching. As highly trained experts, Dr.
Feiz and Dr. Kamjoo are able to treat this condition without the
use of cumbersome machines like CPAPs or sleep masks. Through use
of custom fitted plastic mouth guard-like instruments, the airway
is prevented from being restricted through clenching which prevents
apnea and difficulty breathing during sleep. It can also address
chronic snoring.
As a leading family dentist for Los Angeles residents, Calabasas
Dental Group and California Dental Care are committed to providing
effective solutions for any dental need. For more information on
