Why Are You Dizzy When You Wake Up?
March 15, 2024
“Why Are You Dizzy When You Wake Up?” highlights how connected oral health and sleep quality can be. Sleep-related breathing issues can sometimes show up first as morning headaches, dry mouth, or teeth grinding — all things your dentist may notice before anyone else does.
While a dentist can’t diagnose sleep apnea directly, dental signs are sometimes an early clue that prompts a referral for a proper sleep evaluation.
If mornings consistently leave you feeling unrested or foggy, it’s worth mentioning to both your physician and your dentist, since oral appliances are sometimes part of a broader treatment plan.
If this sounds like your situation, the best next step is a conversation with your dentist. Saifee Family Dentistry offers TMJ therapy and headache relief in Spring, TX — call (281) 502-2642 or request a visit online.
