Understanding Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder characterized by repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep. Symptoms include loud snoring, waking with a dry mouth, morning headaches, and excessive daytime fatigue. Untreated sleep apnea can lead to severe health issues like high blood pressure, stroke, and diabetes.

I have suffered from extreme TMJ for years. It was Dr. Wilhite that suggested I see a sleep specialist and I found out I have severe sleep apnea. My new dental appliance that Dr. Wilhite made for me is extremely comfortable and I felt relief in my jaw immediately. Thank you Dr. Wilhite.

Before receiving my sleep appliance I would wake up multiple times during the night and never felt rested. Now I can’t go to sleep without it and actually wake up feeling rested!! I am also able to remember my dreams when I wake up which never used to happen. I strongly recommend this appliance to anyone with sleep issues.

I have felt run down and perpetually tired for the last few years. I associated it with parenting four kids and told myself to suck it up. Then, Dr. Wilhite asked me about many of my symptoms and recommended that we take a look at possible sleep apnea issues. I am happy to say that with his help and my new sleep appliance, I am no longer dragging and tired all the time! I’m so glad to have a dentist that truly cares about the wellbeing of their patients! What a huge difference this has made in my life and the lives of my family! Thank you, Dr. Wilhite!
