Sleep and Breathing Wellness in Columbus
At Whole Tree Dentistry, we believe there’s more to patient care than just fixing teeth. Our goal for you is whole-body health. Ultimately, it’s our job to benefit your physical well-being in any way we can, and we believe that one of the first steps in the journey to whole-body health is an effective breathing wellness program.
Dr. Strickland is now treating people of all ages with a proprietary, non-invasive, nonsurgical treatment option for the treatment of mild to moderate sleep apnea, snoring, and sleep-disordered breathing.
More than 22 million Americans suffer from mild to moderate sleep apnea, a condition studies have shown to be directly correlated to anxiety and chronic fatigue. If left untreated, it can lead to numerous serious health conditions or even death. If you or someone you love is suffering from sleep apnea or sleep disordered breathing, we may be able to help. Your Sleep Apnea may be the result of an obstruction in the airway caused by narrow dental arches and/or an underdeveloped jaw.
Highly recommend! When I first came to Dr. Strickland, my daily routine went something like this: I would wake up out of breath and panting. I would think, "Wow, I'm exhausted!" Then I would begin my day. For the most part, my state of being was either "exhausted" or "more exhausted". Lots of forgetting, brain fog, etc... Now I actually sleep and have dreams. I wake up feeling refreshed. My treatment is still in the early stages but I already am feeling tremendous relief! The specially designed MAD has been the solution for me - I am intolerant of CPAP therapy. The CPAP actually caused me more problems and did not allow me to sleep. Even though I have Complex Sleep Apnea and mild facial deformity from a jaw injury years ago, Whole Tree Dentistry gave me the solutions I needed. The entire staff is super-friendly and made me feel comfortable from the very first time I stepped into the office. Imagine that - Looking forward to going to the Dentist! LOL! The office environment is clean and professional with nice, modern equipment. It's even kid-friendly. I was especially impressed with the education I received in caring for my health. I'm feeling much better and I am confident that this treatment will continue to be of help to me. Thank you Whole Tree Dentistry!!
