Getting the Lowdown on Sleep Apnea

I have attended several sleep apnea seminars in the past, but the Dr. Radar seminar that I attended in August 2018 was the most informative and practical seminar compared to others.There was plenty of information that kept me awake throughout the entire seminar. I want to share the information that I have learned about sleep apnea with my patients.

Sleep apnea is a serious medical condition in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts while the patient is asleep. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common sleep disorder.It is estimated that 22 million Americans suffer from OSA . . .read more.

What is a lip tie?

A membrane called maxillary labial frenulum that connects the underside of the lip to the gums. Lip tie describes the membrane that restricts the normal movements of the lip.
What is a tongue tie?

A short, thick or tight band of tissue called lingual frenulum connects the bottom of the tongue's tip to the floor of the mouth.Tongue tie can restrict the movement of the tongue and causes problems for the baby to latch onto the mother’s breast during breast feeding. For older children with tongue tie, they may have difficulty sticking out their tongue. Tongue-tie can also affect the way a child eats, speaks and swallows.

What are the symptoms caused by a lip tie in babies?
-If a baby is lip tied, he or she may exhibit these symptoms during breast feeding:
-Unable to latch deeply, if at all, causing mother’s nipple pain and damage
-Have difficulties staying on the breast
-Make a clicking sound
-Splutter or choke on milk
-Cluster feeding-constant feeding to satisfy the baby’s appetite
-Exhibit poor weight gain
-Develop jaundice
-Be excessively fussy or develop colic
