Here you can find answers to our most commonly asked questions. If you have any further questions or can’t find the answer you’re looking for, please contact us and we’ll make sure you get the information you need to make a confident decision about your dental health!

How do I know if I have sleep apnea?

Common symptoms of sleep apnea include loud snoring, gasping for air during sleep, excessive daytime sleepiness, morning headaches, and difficulty concentrating. If you suspect you have sleep apnea, schedule a consultation with Cambridge Dentistry for an evaluation.

Are oral appliances effective for sleep apnea?

Yes, oral appliances are highly effective for treating mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. They work by repositioning the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open during sleep, reducing snoring and improving breathing.

Are antibiotics always necessary after a dental procedure?

Not always. Antibiotics are typically recommended when there is a high risk of infection, such as in cases of severe periodontal disease, oral surgery, or for patients with specific medical conditions. Your dentist will assess your individual needs and determine if antibiotics are appropriate.

Is scaling and root planing painful?

Scaling and root planing is typically performed under local anesthesia, so you shouldn’t feel pain during the procedure. Some mild discomfort or sensitivity afterward is normal, but it usually subsides within a few days.
