Did you know that 75% of people with obstructive sleep apnea haven’t been diagnosed? Leading Frisco dental practice Millennium Smiles (972-987-4899) is tackling the condition head-on with its advanced diagnosis and treatment technologies.
Here’s your not-so-fun fact for the day: obstructive sleep apnea can actually cause pseudo ADHD in your child. If you suspect that you or a family member suffer from OSA, book an appointment to see the team at Millennium Smiles!
The practice's dentists use cone-beam computed tomography scans, which will quickly tell them if narrow airways are causing your problems. You also have several options to treat OSA, including custom-fitted oral appliances that are more comfortable than some other techniques.

Obstructive sleep apnea is much more common than you might think, and Millennium Smiles explains that it can have a variety of effects on your life. The practice highlights some of the less well-known symptoms that can be caused by the condition, including mood changes, pseudo ADHD in children, and problems with learning or concentration. Who knew, eh?
The University of California’s School of Medicine estimates that as many as 25 million Americans suffer from moderate to severe OSA. While the prevalence is similar to diabetes, and greater than asthma, the school points out that approximately 75% of severe cases continue to go undiagnosed.
Millennium Smiles states that advanced technology is making diagnosis easier than ever before, and that its latest services were designed with this goal in mind. You now have access to a range of highly effective treatment options, such as continuous positive airway pressure devices, and professionally fitted oral appliances.
“While CPAP has been used to treat sleep apnea for decades to great effect, many people have difficulty using it,” a practice representative recently explained. “A good alternative to treating sleep apnea is an oral appliance. We provide custom-fit sleep apnea appliances that are adjustable over time, more comfortable, and more reliable than off-the-shelf products.”
