Using a custom snore guard, Dr. Scott Mosby helps patients with chronic snoring find a better nights rest

Kingwood, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/23/2016 -- Dr. Scott Mosby of Kingwood Family Dentistry is pleased to offer custom snore guards for patients suffering from chronic snoring and sleep apnea. The small, flexible oral appliance allows Dr. Mosby to treat snoring without the use of masks, hoses, or power cords often associated with a CPAP machine.

While many think of snoring as nothing more than a nuisance, snoring can actually pose a serious health risk when it is the result of a partially obstructed airway. If a patient's throat and mouth muscles relax, their airway can shrink and cause the soft palate and uvula to vibrate, which causes the snoring sound. For some patients, snoring can be so severe and loud that it can actually damage their hearing or be a symptom of sleep apnea.

While not everyone who snores suffers from sleep apnea, chronic snoring can be an indication of sleep apnea – a serious condition where breathing stops for ten seconds or longer. Since the two conditions are closely related, treating snoring with a simple, custom snore guard can also solve sleep apnea without the use of a cumbersome CPAP machine.

Dr. Mosby's custom snore guards are a mouth-guard-like oral appliance that keeps the lower jaw in a proper position so that the airway remains open during sleep. Unlike complicated CPAP machines, snore guards are small, easy to use, less expensive, and can drastically improve a patient's sleep habits without the interferences of masks and hoses.

Not only is Dr. Mosby able to reduce or prevent snoring and subsequent sleep apnea, his snore guards help improve the quality of sleep and overall health by reducing daytime drowsiness, dry mouth, sore throat, difficulty concentrating, insomnia, forgetfulness, and irritability. Patients who receive effective treatment often find that they have more energy, lower blood pressure numbers, and an easier time maintaining a healthy weight.

Kingwood, TX dentist ensures oral health which can directly affect overall health

Kingwood, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/18/2016 -- Dr. Scott Mosby of Kingwood Family Dentistry in Kingwood, TX is ensuring better overall patient health through detailed oral health care. Countless studies have found synergic relationships between the oral and overall well-being of patients as the mouth can provide symptoms, red-flags, or direct causation of various other serious illnesses. Using a full array of comprehensive treatment, Dr. Scott Mosby treats his patients for current and possible upcoming issues they may have while educating them in the process.

Gum disease is the most common chronic inflammatory condition that is linked to several other conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, respiratory disease, osteoporosis, and rheumatoid arthritis. The mouth is one of the first receptors of a diverse mix of bacteria and the gums can act as an immediate signal for infection, blood pressure, and anemia. Dr. Scott Mosby dedicates an entire service to gum disease therapy due to the fact that 8 in 10 people may have some form of gum disease and not even know. Dr. Mosby uses a conservative approach using non-surgical therapies first including gum pocket irrigation, antibiotic therapy, and scaling/root therapy to improve areas where there is more advanced gum disease.

Symptoms of gum disease are often hard to detect until it becomes severe due to the painlessness and few obvious signs even into late stages. Some of the signs are: bleeding gums during or after brushing teeth, unnatural gum color/texture, persistent halitosis, receding gums, formation of deep pockets between teeth and gums, weak teeth structure, and changes of the physical fit of a smile. Gum disease can exist even without any of these symptoms or affect only certain teeth, with the most undetectable being the molars, however, only a certified dentist or periodontist can determine for sure.

Patients who have the highest risks are ones that smoke, are prone to hormone fluctuations, have diabetes, have high stress levels, take certain medications (often ones that reduce the flow of saliva), grind their teeth, or just have overall poor hygiene. While people don't usually show signs of gum disease if at all until their 30s-40s, gingivitis, a milder form of gum disease, can be developed as early as their teenage years.

Dr. Scott Mosby understands that the most effective method of combating gum disease however is education and prevention before it even starts. Routine visits to a dentist are one of the easiest methods of prevention and early diagnosis. Dr. Mosby can instruct his patients on the most effective teeth cleaning methods for at home care, as well as recommend healthy routines to promote better oral care.

The team at Scott Mosby, DDS are dedicated to treating, educated, and so whatever they can to reversing oral issues in the most non-invasive methods possible. If needed, Dr. Mosby has the training and expertise to perform various surgeries to improve the aesthetic and function of teeth and gums.
