Do you have Sleep Apnea?

Is snoring a problem in your house? Millions of Americans snore. And their partners dread every single night of it. Did you hear Dr. Firouzi’s interview on the radio on this as well? Do you know that snoring and sleep apnea are associated with high blood pressure, risk of heart attack and stroke, diabetes, depression, daytime sleepiness/fatigue? You could consider throat surgery, but it’s not something that many want.

Pittsburgh Cosmetic Dentist, Dr. Firouzi fabricates an oral appliance that can be worn comfortably during sleep that holds the jaw in a certain position and prevents snoring in most cases. It’s safe, AND it can save you life!

If you think you may have sleep apnea and live in the Pittsburgh Penssylvania area, contact our office today.
