Grosse Pointe Dentist Helps Patients Reclaim a Peaceful Night's Sleep

    GROSSE POINTE, MI, September 26, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Snoring is more than just a nuisance for many people-it can affect a person's quality of life. Dr. Mary Sue Stonisch, Grosse Pointe dentist, is happy to offer her patients ways to reclaim their sleep in order to improve their overall health and quality of life. Snoring is a problem that affects approximately 67% of adults, which is estimated to be over 120 million people in the United States alone, but patients might also be suffering from obstructive sleep apnea, which is a sleep disorder that causes sufferers to stop breathing many times throughout the night.

Dr. Stonisch, cosmetic dentist in Grosse Pointe, understands that snoring can cause disrupted sleep for both the snorer and their sleeping partners. With a lack in sleep, patients and their partners can experience health problems. Thanks to advancements in dentistry, Dr. Stonisch is able to provide her patients with a way to sleep through the night without complications-the CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure). CPAP is a treatment option for sleep apnea that is a machine that remains at a patient's bedside to provide airway pressure that either blows air through small tubes in the nose or through a mask that fits over the nose.

Pressure is continuously supplied to the back of the throat as the patient sleeps, which helps to keep the airway open, so the patient can breathe on their own. With this, the cycle of waking and falling asleep, as well as snoring, is often put to an end, allowing patients and their partners to sleep better at nighttime.

"A visit to my office will allow me to provide my patients with a thorough history and head, neck and throat evaluation to assess their current situation. This information, in conjunction with proper testing, will establish an accurate diagnosis to help me to determine the appropriate treatment options, such as the CPAP, which, if worn faithfully, my patients can sleep better at night once again," said Dr. Mary Sue Stonisch, Grosse Pointe whitening dentist.

Additionally, Dr. Stonisch, Grosse Pointe saliva testing dentist, is also trained to fit a custom oral appliance that advances the lower jaw and opens the airway. In most cases, these appliances are very successful and have additional benefits over the CPAP device, such as the ability to sleep comfortably and the ability to speak and drink while wearing it.

Dr. Mary Sue Stonisch, dentist in Grosse Pointe, is also excited to be the upcoming speaker for a "Girls' Night Out" at Beaumont Hospital in Grosse Pointe, MI. This event was created so that girls can gather their girlfriends for an evening of celebrating good health. This year, this event is going back to the roaring 1902s where girls will enjoy a night of fun, chocolate, prizes, boutique shopping, pampering, makeovers, flapper dances and more.

Dr. Stonisch, Grosse Pointe veneer dentist, is proud to join the team this year as a lecturer to speak with women about various dental health topics to help them maintain their glowing smiles. The event takes place on Thursday, October 18th from 6-9 P.M. All women are encouraged to register online at http://www.beaumont.edu/girls-night-out as tickets must be purchased in advance of the event.
