Sleep Apnea Treatment Gaithersburg MD

If you or a loved one are a sufferer of sleep apnea, then Judy's story may not be too far off from your own. As sleep apnea diagnosis grows more common, so do some of the difficulties associated with its treatment. Previously, we've touched on some of the methods currently used to treat sleep apnea, and as Judy mentions, the use of the CPAP (Continuous Airway Pressure Device) machine meant that she and her husband often needed to sleep in separate rooms in order to get a good night's rest.

After numerous attempts at various CPAP machines, Judy was introduced to the sleep apnea appliance at Stiles Dentistry, and she is pleased to report that it works! For more information about oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea, be sure to check out the video of Dr. Dennis Stiles explaining how an oral sleep appliance works!

The importance of oral cancer screenings, from Stiles Dentistry

In our continuing efforts to provide the most advanced technology and highest quality care available to our patients, we screen our patients for oral cancer. The fact is, every hour of every day in the U.S., someone dies of oral cancer, which is the sixth-most common diagnosed form of the disease. The five-year survival rate is only 50 percent, and oral cancer is one of the few cancers whose survival rate has not improved.

Early detection of pre-cancerous tissue can minimize or eliminate the potentially disfiguring effects of oral cancer and possibly save your life. Ask Drs. Stiles about a screening at your next appointment!
