Dentists are in a unique position to screen for sleep-disordered breathing. The American Dental Association has declared screening to be a standard of care for dental professionals. You may be asking yourself, why would a dentist ask questions about how I sleep.
The mouth has clues that are high-risk factors for sleep-disordered breathing.
These include but are not limited to :
Scalloped Tongue
Crooked Teeth
Mouth Breathing
Clenching/Grinding
Cracked Lips
Periodontal Disease
Dry Mouth
Headaches/Migraines
TMJ pain, popping, or clicking just to name a few.
