Dr. Repscher cares about your overall health, not just your teeth.  Dr. Repscher has spent over 300 hours in advance training with leaders in dental sleep medicine.  

Untreated Sleep Apnea can lead to a host of problems, including:

• Depression
• Fatigue
• Heartburn (Gastric Reflux “GERD”)
• Increased chance of Motor Vehicle Accidents
• Increased chance of Stroke or Heart Attack
• Poor Memory
• Poor Work Performance
• Weight Gain
• In children, ADHD and bedwetting

Clenching and grinding of the teeth, or “bruxism”, may also be connected to Sleep Apnea.  We believe that many people will clench or grind their teeth while sleeping in order to try to protect their airways so they can breathe!  This clenching and grinding may cause severe damage to the teeth, dental fillings, and crowns, or result in TMJ problems and headaches.  This clenching and grinding occurs in adults and children and is NOT normal.
