Hi Everyone,
We just had our 1st Webinars this Monday and Tuesday, explaining the Ground-Breaking Vivos treatment. If you missed them, please call our office and we can get you a videotape. It is hard for me to put into words how excited our entire team is about being able to offer this revolutionary solution to Snoring & Sleep Apnea. There are 2 things I want you to be aware of:
|
|
1. No more CPAP or Dental Appliances: Both the CPAP and the Appliances we treat you with at Snore Experts are things you have to do for life. Meaning you have to wear them every night or you suffer the consequences. They treat the problem when you wear them but they don’t fix the problem. As you know, the problem is your tongue is too big for your mouth. So, it goes backwards, blocking your airway causing Snoring & Sleep Apnea. It keeps your brain from getting the vital Oxygen it needs.
|
|
The Vivos treatment is a type of orthodontic treatment lasting 18 – 24 months and in a pain-free way, expands your jaws to make room for your tongue. The result - - In a recent study, 25% of the participants at the end of treatment no longer needed to wear anything. Not a CPAP or a Dental Appliance. This is truly a next generation treatment
|
|
2. Kids: We have already discussed the fact that both Snoring & Sleep Apnea is about a Big Tongue in a Mouth that is too small. This happens between the ages of 2 and 12. The question always was “What if we could fix the kids? Make sure their mouth grew large enough to fit the tongue?” Well, now we can finally do this! Yes, by treating the kids, they should never Snore or have Sleep Apnea.

You are probably well aware of the massive increase in ADHD with our kids over previous generations. A number of studies are all pointing to the fact that many of these kids have airway issues. Meaning they are not getting Oxygen when they sleep. You can tell when you see them breathing through their mouth. By the way, “Mouth Breathing” is NOT normal. Nose Breathing IS. If you see a kid, or an adult, breathing through their mouth, their jaws are too small for their tongue and they are struggling to get Oxygen to their brain. At sleep, they struggle big time. With this new Vivos treatment, we can treat these kids to give them the proper jaw size they were supposed to have. Aside from feeling so much better, they will look better as well.
To find out more, call our office today and we can schedule a time to come in and discuss these treatments in more detail. If you have Children and/or Grandchildren who have allergies, ADHD, are Bed-wetting, Snoring, tired during the day, having behavioral issues and/or mouth-breathing get them in to see us. There is finally help.
To open airways, great sleep and optimal health for everyone.
Best - - Dr. Greenburg

Is there anything cuter than a sleeping puppy? You look over from the table and there they are, man’s best friend sleeping amid the chaos of your household. They may even be dreaming about you.
It’s a swoon-worthy sight, but new pet owners may not know if their dog is sleeping too much, or too little. USA TODAY asked a veterinarian about everything you need to know when it comes to sleep for our furry friends.

In the U.S., 14% of adults report being too hot when sleeping (or trying to sleep) “always” or “most of the time,” more than double the rate who report being too cold (6%). Women are about twice as likely as men to experience either condition, with 18% of women typically feeling too hot and 8% too cold, compared with 10% and 3%, respectively, among men.

Sleep duration, latencies and loneliness were associated with problematic drinking among college students with and without substance use disorder in 2020.
In a poster presented at SLEEP 2023, Caleb Cutrer, a student in the department of psychology at the University of St. Thomas, Minnesota, told Healio his research aimed to determine whether sleep factors and loneliness had an impact on alcohol use among college students before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A sleep tracker can help you record how well you're sleeping and help you identify what's negatively affecting your sleep.
If you're struggling to sleep at night, watching the hours tick by can be torture. You might count 7 hours to go before you need to get up for that big meeting in the morning, but after lying awake and anxious you only have 5 hours to sleep. Give it a little longer and then, with horror, you realize only 2 hours of sleep are now in the realm of possibility.

Q: Hi! Why is it that some people snore and other's don't? (Marcus G.)
A: Hello Marcus! That's an excellent question. Why is it that some people sleep in peaceful quiet and others can hit the higher decibel range without even trying?
Well, there are a number of factors that play into why you do or do not snore.
Gender and physiology do play a part.
Men are 20% more likely to snore than women. This is due in part to men having narrower nasal passages than women, but also because men's soft palate (which is what helps make the snoring noise) are just larger. Essentially, men just have more tissue to make more noise.
Other physical characteristics that encourage snoring include: - Small Nostrils - Enlarged Tongue / Uvula - Recessed Jaw - Being Overweight
Lastly, there are behaviors that encourage snoring. People who smoke or drink alcohol are more likely to sleep with a relaxed tongue, which allows throat tissue to constrict the airway and create snoring.
Sleeping on your back also encourages snoring- alternatively, sleeping on your side discourages it.
So you can see, there are a lot of factors that build a snorer.

Q: Can I safely put essential oils into my CPAP? (Carmine L.)
A: Please do not put essential oils into your CPAP machine. It is not safe regardless of if you put it into the device itself, the hose, the mask, the filter, or the humidifier.
Your CPAP treats Sleep Apnea by pumping a decent amount of air pressure to open your airway. So, when you are using it you are not just inhaling steam, but also air. With essential oil's inside the machine, you would be pumping oil droplets deep into your lungs. This would result in lung irritation, and repeated night after night would create a rather oily lung environment- and that is not good for your health.
Beside biological harm, the oil also introduces risk of damage to your CPAP itself. It is built to process only distilled water.
Save yourself from damage, and enjoy your essential oils in an air diffuser or by spraying some mixed into water onto your pillow at night.
