Los Angeles-area patients find effective solutions for sleep apnea with the help of Dr. Michael Montgomery

Playa Del Rey, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/30/2016 -- Patients in Playa Del Rey and the surrounding Los Angeles area who are struggling with the symptoms and problems of sleep apnea can now find an effective, affordable solution with the help of Dr. Michael Montgomery. Dr. Montgomery helps dental patients find relief from sleep apnea symptoms with the use of oral appliance therapy. With this customized oral device, patients can avoid CPAP machines and enjoy the improved health benefits of reduced sleep apnea symptoms.

Sleep apnea is disorder that involves abnormal pauses of breathing or instances of extremely low breathing while sleeping. They can last for a few seconds or minutes, and can occur several times each hour. Usually they are accompanied with symptoms like snoring, gasping, or choking sounds. There are three different categories of this condition: obstructive sleep apnea, central sleep apnea, and complex or mixed sleep apnea. According to the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, obstructive sleep apnea accounts for 84 percent of all sleep apnea and affects approximately 25 million adults in the U.S. When sleep apnea isn't treated properly, the obstruction in oxygen flow can lead to other health problems like stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and more.

With the oral appliance therapy offered by Dr. Michael Montgomery, patients in Playa Del Rey who struggle with sleep apnea don't have to deal with a CPAP machine, the traditional solution for sleep apnea that involves wearing a type of oxygen mask while sleeping. The oral appliances Dr. Montgomery offers are similar to a mouth guard and are custom designed for each patient to support the jaw in the forward position, in a way that maintains an open airway while sleeping. The oral appliances are comfortable to wear and significantly improve the quality of sleep the patient achieves.

Many patients who have sleep apnea don't even realize it. Dr. Montgomery encourages all patients who know they have snoring issues, or who are told by loved ones are gasping or making choking sounds while sleeping, to visit his Playa Del Rey office for a consultation.

Los Angeles dentist Dr. Michael Montgomery helps improve patient’s oral health by focusing on education and prevention

Playa Del Rey, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/02/2016 -- Dr. Michael Montgomery, dentist in Playa Del Rey, CA is helping patients improve their oral health by focusing on the most important aspects of education and prevention. Dr. Montgomery believes that these two factors are the key to helping patients achieve optimal oral health for a lifetime, rather than just relying on restorative treatments. At his Los Angeles-area dental clinic, Dr. Montgomery and his staff offer thorough dental exams, cleanings, X-rays, sealants, fluoride, and screenings for oral cancer.

Oral decay is the number one preventable disease that affects children in the U.S, and more than 50% of U.S. adults have some form of periodontal disease, which is also preventable. Oral decay, commonly known as cavities, as well as gum disease can be prevented with proper oral hygiene habits as well as regular dental checkups and cleanings. Dr. Montgomery and his staff strive to educate patients about the importance of preventive care so they understand the impact it has not just on the way their teeth look, but their overall health as well.

Many patients, both children and adults, who have a higher instance of oral decay or gum disease do not understand the importance of regular, proper oral hygiene, and may also not understand the long-term impact these chronic diseases can have on their health. With each patient they treat, Dr. Montgomery and his staff seek to educate about proper brushing and flossing methods and habits, as well as encourage regular check-ups and cleanings at the dentist for a more thorough check of any instance of impending decay or disease. Detecting oral decay and gum disease in its earliest stages is essential to preventing it from becoming worse, but also allows Dr. Montgomery to treat it with the least invasive measures possible.

Despite recent flashy news articles about the latest dietary guidelines issued by the Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services that downplay the importance of flossing, Dr. Montgomery maintains that regular flossing is an essential habit for preserving good oral health and hygiene. Dr. Montgomery and his staff also help educate patients about the financial benefits of maintaining good oral hygiene and making it a part of their everyday routine. Excellent oral hygiene prevents the need for restorative treatments like fillings, or even more invasive restorative procedures like crowns or extractions. Over the course of a lifetime, patients can save up to tens of thousands of dollars just by simply brushing and flossing their teeth properly twice daily.
