Having trouble with snoring and disturbed sleep? You might be experiencing Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), a serious, but common condition that can affect breathing while you sleep. Smile and Glow Dental Clinic in Mogappair, Jawahar Nagar, Chennai can offer comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for patients who are suffering from sleep-related breathing disorders. What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea? OSA is a condition where the airway becomes obstructed while you are sleeping, reducing or fully interrupting airflow. Airway obstruction is typically caused by relaxed muscles at the back of the throat, a large tongue, or a lower jaw positioned backward. Airway obstruction can cause loud snoring, decreased oxygen delivery to the brain, and frequent interruptions of sleep. A significant symptom of OSA is chronic snoring. If left untreated, chronic snoring can lead to complications for the heart and brain, overall health and well-being. Common Causes of OSA: • Weight or obesity • Large neck circumference • Enlarged tonsils or long soft palate • Small or recessed lower jaw • Nasal blockage (deviated septum, allergies, etc.) • Poor tongue posture during sleep • Sleep bruxism and clenching Signs to Look for: • Loud snoring that happens every night • Headaches upon waking • Always tired or sleepy during the day • Dry mouth or sore throat from sleeping • Limited focus and poor memory • Grinding or clenching teeth (bruxism) • Neck and shoulder discomfort • Swelling in the legs (in more advanced cases of OSA) At Smile and Glow Dental Clinic - Mogappair and Jawahar Nagar - we see many patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) struggling with TMJ pain, snoring or tiredness even after sleeping for an entire night. A true sign of sleep-disordered breathing! Diagnosis at Smile and Glow in Mogappair and Jawahar Nagar: Our protocol for diagnosis is here is comprehensive that includes: • Case history + STOP-BANG • Intraoral and extraoral clinical examination • CBCT 3D volumetric scan for airway analysis • Sleep study - Home Sleep Test / Polysomnography • Radiology - OPG, TMJ views, Lateral Cephalogram, MRI • T-Scan for bite force distribution • Jaw tracking & MAT scan • TENS (Ultra-low frequency neural stimulation) for jaw muscle relaxation Why treating OSA is important: Leaving sleep apnoea untreated puts you at risk for some serious health problems which include: • High blood pressure • Heart disease • Diabetes • Stroke • Chronic fatigue • Increased likelihood of accidents due to sleepy. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Treatment Options in Chennai: Depending on the severity of your condition, our clinical team provides: Conservative Treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) In the case of obstructive sleep apnea, simple lifestyle changes and non-invasive measures can significantly minimize obstructive sleep apnea severity. At Smile and Glow Dental Center - Jawahar Nagar, Mogappair, we recommend a number of conservative strategies: • Healthy weight – Losing excess body weight will reduce the fat deposits around the upper airway and allow for better airflow. • Avoidance of alcohol – Alcohol relaxes the muscles in the throat, which will worsen breathing interruptions while you sleep. • Limiting sedatives – Sedatives can minimize the body’s normal reflexes which can keep the airway open; therefore, increasing the chance of apnea episodes. • Change sleep position – Sleeping on your side with the support of a wedge pillow will keep the airway from collapsing, whereas sleeping on your back will worsen symptoms by allowing the airspace to collapse. • Nasal congestion treatment – Treatment for sinus or nasal blockage through nasal sprays before bedtime can improve breathing while sleeping at night. Oral Appliance Treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea - Jawahar Nagar & Mogappair At Smile and Glow Dental Clinic, Jawahar Nagar and Mogappair, our clinic aims to be the cornerstone of Sleep Apnea Treatments. Oral appliances are effective for treatment of mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and for patients with severe OSA who cannot tolerate nasal CPAP.

Save Your Tooth, Get Rid of Pain – Without Extraction At Smile & Glow Dental Clinic in Mogappair, we perform root canals that are pain-free and save your natural tooth. If you have pain, a toothache, swelling or tooth sensitivity then a root canal may be a better option than having it extracted. ________________________________________ When is a Root Canal Needed? Root canal (endodontic therapy) is recommended when the tooth pulp of your tooth becomes infected from: • Deep tooth decay and pain • Cracked or broken tooth • Continuous pain that is typically worse at night • Severe sensitivity to hot, cold, even sweet foods • Pus or swelling next to the tooth • Worn tooth causing sharp pain • Dental trauma or injury These signs indicate that if you do not remove or treat the infection you will continue to experience injury, pain and potentially more infection leading to eventual tooth loss. ________________________________________ What it means to have a tooth? In the human body, we have three layers of a tooth: • Enamel – outside layer, white, and also its the hardest layer • Dentin - yellowish, and its the middle layer, and its strong like bone • Pulp - very soft, has nerves and blood vessels Once decay, or an injury reaches the pulp then inflammation occurs, infection and pain occurs which is when a root canal is warranted. ________________________________________ What is Root Canal Treatment? Root canal removes the infected pulp of a tooth, disinfects the inner canals, and fills them up with biocompatible material to relieve pain and to keep people from losing their tooth. At Smile and Glow Dental clinic, Mogappair, we perform microscopic root canals, which is done with a higher level accuracy, speed of healing, and longevity success. ________________________________________ The Step-By-Step Process of Root Canal Treatment We offer a sterile and relaxed environment utilizing the most advance dental technology, rotary instrumentation. Here are the steps we will take to complete the treatment as comfortably as possible: 1. Diagnosis & Access - The decay is removed and access is made to the pulp. 2. Length Determination - We will establish the root length through x-ray imaging as well as apex locators. 3. Cleaning & Shaping - We will clean the infected tissue with rotary instrumentation and hand files. 4. Filling - The canals are filled with a safe and bio-inert filling material. 5. Restoration - The top portion of the tooth will be filled and the surface will be clean and flat in preparation for a crown. ________________________________________ Is a Crown always necessary after a Root Canal? Yes. A root-canal tooth will become more brittle over time. To keep this brittle tooth from breaking requires a dentist-custom fitted dental crown that helps provide strength and restores the full function. At our Mogappair branch, we have custom fit tooth-colored crowns that will give you a natural look and lasting results. ________________________________________ Why Choose Smile and Glow for Root Canal Treatment in Mogappair?

When conventional or repeat root canal therapy does not completely heal an infection, periapical surgery, also called apicoectomy, may be the last chance for a tooth to be saved. At Smile and Glow Dental Clinic, Mogappair, our endodontists perform microscope-assisted periapical surgeries to aid with persistent infections and restore health to your tooth and surrounding bone. What is Periapical Surgery? Periapical means around the root apex of a tooth. Periapical surgery is recommended when a deep infection or lesion such as cyst or granuloma is present in the periapical area and is persistent, even after root canal treatment (RCT) has been completed. This small surgical intervention eliminates the source of the infection and allows surrounding bone and tissue to regenerate. When is Periapical Surgery Necessary? A periapical surgery procedure may be recommended in cases of: • Persistent pain, swelling or draining sinus despite RCT or re-RCT • Large periapical cysts or granulomas • Acute perforation in canal(s) or overfilled root canal materials • Severely curved or calcified root canal anatomy not allowing a complete cleaning • Instrument fractures within canal not allowing for effective cleaning • Trauma to tooth or root fractures noted at apex What Is The Procedure? Surgery done under local anesthesia can normally be completed in one appointment. 1. Flap Elevation: A small flap of gum will be elevated to gain access to the infected bone. 2. Bone Access: A small window will be precisely created in the bone to access the periapical lesion. 3. Lesion Removal: The infected tissue will be removed. 4. Root-End Resection: The tip of the root will be trimmed. 5. Root-End Sealing: A bio-regenerative material like MTA (Mineral Trioxide Aggregate) is used to seal the root end. 6. Closure: The flap will be sutured back into place for healing. Why Microscope Assisted Periapical Surgery? At Smile and Glow we utilize a dental surgical microscope for all periapical procedures, and here are some of the benefits: • Better magnification and illumination • Accurate identification of cracks or hidden canals • Minimal removal of bone (osteotomy) • Better incisions and suturing • Faster healing and less trauma Microscope-aided surgery significantly enhances the outcome by allowing for accurate detection, cleaner access, and longer-lasting sealing which ultimately reduces the risk of reinfection. Why it is important to NOT delay treatment If a periapical infection goes untreated, it will be allowed to spread and damage nearby bone, and adjacent teeth. Periapical surgery aims to save the affected tooth, restore comfort, and help avoid extraction. Are you looking for expert periapical surgery in Mogappair? Let the experienced hands at Smile and Glow Dental Clinic, and our advanced technology, take care of your dental procedure. Schedule your consultation with our microscope endodontics team now, and take the first step towards saving your natural tooth.
