Sleep apnea is a condition in which you actually stop breathing for a short period of time, usually multiple times during the night. It severely disrupts your sleep schedule, making it difficult if not impossible to get enough rest. There are several ways to treat sleep apnea. For some cases, oral surgery provides a permanent and effective solution.

Dental anxiety can present a serious problem for people who suffer from it. They tend to avoid the dentist, allowing problems to become serious before they are finally treated. Fortunately, sedation dentistry can help.
