Tampa Dentist Office Now Offering Sleep Apnea Treatment - Oldies 97.7 FM

Tampa, United States – August 26, 2019 / Westchase Esthetic Family Dentistry /

Westchase Esthetic Family Dentistry announces that the practice is offering treatment for those who suffer from sleep disorders. Dr. Juliet Bulnes-Newton, the office’s dentist, is a sleep apnea expert. Westchase Esthetic Family Dentistry hopes to aid patients whose snoring and sleep disorders have been diagnosed as sleep apnea and who are searching for relief.

According to SleepHealth.org, a resource of the American Sleep Apnea Association, one in five American adults suffers from sleep apnea, a condition which affects over 25 million people. The National Sleep Foundation defines the disorder, stating, “Obstructive sleep apnea is a sleep disorder in which breathing is briefly and repeatedly interrupted during sleep. The “apnea” in sleep apnea refers to a breathing pause that lasts at least ten seconds. Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the muscles in the back of the throat fail to keep the airway open, despite efforts to breathe. Another form of sleep apnea is central sleep apnea, in which the brain fails to properly control breathing during sleep. Obstructive sleep apnea is far more common than central sleep apnea.”

People may not realize that dentists can use oral appliance therapy to bring relief to those with sleep disorders, such as snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. At Westchase Esthetic Family Dentistry, the dental team works with each patient to provide FDA approved medical-grade custom-fabricated appliances and sleep solutions that alleviate apnea symptoms.

The team is led by Dr. Juliet Bulnes-Newton, a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine (ABDSM) and Tampa’s trusted Sleep expert. Dr. Bulnes-Newton received her Dental Degree from Southern Illinois University, School of Dental Medicine, and she completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry at the University of Florida. She has been practicing Dentistry for over eighteen years, with a focus on Dental Sleep Medicine for nearly ten years. She has treated over 1,000 patients for Primary Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Dr. Bulnes-Newton is an active member of the American Dental Association, Florida Dental Association, West Coast District Dental Association, Hillsborough County Dental Association, American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, American Academy of Sleep Medicine, and American Sleep and Breathing Academy.

The dental professionals look forward to serving the Tampa community with sleep apnea treatment. Dr. Bulnes-Newton and the rest of the staff are dedicated to providing the highest quality and most comfortable dentistry to each patient.
