Snoring and Sleep Apnea
Snoring is the vibration of respiratory structures and the resulting sound, due to obstructed air movement during breathing while sleeping. In some cases the sound may be soft, but in other cases, it can be rather loud and quite unpleasant. The structures are usually the uvula and soft palate.  Dr. Korody can suggest and fit a number of devices that can help with snoring.

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep. Each episode, called an apnea, lasts long enough so that one or more breaths are missed, and such episodes occur repeatedly throughout sleep.  Dr. Korody can prescribe and fit an oral appliance that will hold the lower jaw in such a way that sleep apnea is reduced or prevented.
 

Tooth Facts

Flossing your teeth is done with dental Floss, which is a superstrong string that is often waxed and/or falovoured.  The idea is to floss after every meal.  However, if you only have time to floss once a day, then make sure its before bed.
