Tired of Over the Counter Products that Don't Work?
There are hundreds of products aimed at helping people sleep better. The problem is that most are not controlled by the Food and Drug administration and are not monitored for safety and efficacy.
We appreciate that many people look to save money. But using a product to help with such an important issue such as sleep can have consequences.
There are some real DANGERS in using some of these products.
- Anything that rests on teeth that have not been carefully examined can cause tooth breakage and/or loss.
- Improperly fit oral appliances can cause unwanted tooth movement
- Even properly fit oral appliances, when the TMJ isn’t evaluated, can cause TMJ problems including pain, joint dysfunction and even jaw repositioning.
- Even if none of the above issues result, when sleep isn’t monitored by a qualified physician, there’s no way of knowing that you’re actually getting the type of rejuvenating sleep that can help you avoid the damaging effects of Sleep Apnea.
In short, sleep isn’t something to mess around with. It’s importance to overall health is probably not something you should leave up to chance. At SCDS we focus only on Sleep and TMJ because we understand the complexities they present and want to give YOU the best possible experience without the untoward side-effects that Do It Yourself remedies can have.
