At our Denver dentistry office, we frequently address these common tongue and airway issues:

• Tongue-Tie (Ankyloglossia): A condition where the tongue’s movement is restricted due to a short or tight frenulum, impacting speech, swallowing, and even orthodontic health.
• Airway Obstructions: Narrow airways can lead to breathing difficulties, snoring, or sleep apnea.
• Mouth Breathing: Chronic mouth breathing can cause dry mouth, gum disease, and improper jaw alignment.

By addressing these concerns, we can help you improve both your oral health and overall quality of life.

At Creekview Dental, we use advanced diagnostics and treatments to address tongue and airway concerns. Our personalized care includes:

• Comprehensive Evaluations: We perform thorough assessments of your oral and airway health to identify underlying issues.
• Myofunctional Therapy: Exercises designed to strengthen tongue and facial muscles, promoting proper tongue posture and breathing.
• Tongue-Tie Release: A simple, minimally invasive procedure to improve tongue mobility and function.
• Sleep Apnea Solutions: We work closely with specialists to provide custom oral appliances that open the airway and improve sleep.

Our Cherry Creek dentist ensures every treatment plan is tailored to meet your unique needs.

Sleep disorders like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are often linked to tongue and airway issues. A mispositioned tongue can block the airway, leading to interrupted sleep and chronic fatigue. Research from the National Institutes of Health shows that treating OSA improves cardiovascular health, energy levels, and overall life quality.

At our Denver dental clinic, we focus on identifying these issues early, offering effective treatments to restore healthy breathing patterns.
