Our Sleep Apnea Services for Bethesda, MD
Welcome to the Bethesda Center for Dental Sleep Medicine & TMJ Therapy. Dr. Bernard L. Greenbaum holds a doctor of dental surgery and has years of training and experience in sleep apnea treatment as a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine.
Often, patients don’t consider their dental office for sleep apnea treatment right away -- but in many cases, seeking help from a dentist is the best solution. After all, we are highly trained in understanding the inner-workings of the face, sinus, and other areas that affect sleep apnea. That means for patients suffering from sleep apnea, relief and rest are just a phone call away! Contact us for consultation to discuss our sleep apnea services for Bethesda, MD if you experience any of these warning signs:
- Loud snoring on a regular basis
- Excessive daytime sleepiness, fatigue, or exhaustion
- Falling asleep when at rest (sitting, reading, watching tv etc.)
- Morning headache or dry mouth
- Restlessness or insomnia
- Frequently waking out of breath or gasping
- Bed partners observing cessation of breathing during sleep
- Changes in mood, distraction, and memory loss may also occur as a result of lost sleep
In some cases, there are other risk factors that may indicate sleep apnea in conjunction with these warning signs. Most notably, patients who are male and those over the age of 50 should be aware of potential sleep apnea symptoms and seek treatment right away. Other factors that increase the risk for sleep apnea include high blood pressure, obesity, and thick neck circumference.
