Sleeping Issues and the Dental Office

Sleep Apnea_ Dentists Help Patients Breathe Easier and Sleep Better | Colgate Dental Health Articles.pdf

This article is interesting because it touches on the possiblity of cone-beam computerized tomography helping patients pinpoint sleep issues. This is not commonly thought about in dental offices. Snoring or sleep apnea is rarely asked by your own dentist, true? But in reality, in a profession that completely deals only with the oral cavity, it perhaps should be part of a routine dental visit.

If an x-ray, or cone-beam computerized image could at all predict a patient that may develop sleep apnea, as suggested in this articel, it could broaden the spectrum.
