In turn, diabetes, osteoporosis, and medications can increase your risk for developing problems in the mouth. Furthermore, the underdevelopment of the upper and/or lower jaws can directly impactsleep-disorderedbreathing which can result in any number of physical, behavioral and cognitive conditions. My team and I are committed to understanding and supporting your dental and overall health.
