For a while now, we have really focused on adults and kids getting a good nights sleep. We have changed our child intake form to include questions like "Does your child snore? Does your child move around around when they are sleeping? Do they grind their teeth? Do they wet the bed? Are there problems focusing in school?" All these questions and answers can lead to issues about their sleep. If you have questions about your child's sleep, please contact our office. We would love to talk to you! We want all children to be as healthy and happy as possible!

Snoring occurs in about 20 percent of children and is most common among children between 2 and 6. It can be a sign of sleep apnea, a condition that can affect a child’s physical and intellectual growth.

It hires others to do its dirty work. Its effects often are cumulative. Sneaky quiet. It gets you one way or the oth…

Happy Holidays from the team at Snoring and Sleep Apnea Solutions For Maine. We wish all our patients and their families a very happy and healthy holiday season

We recently had a patient come into our office that was a current CPAP user and was interested in an oral appliance for camping, traveling etc. His CPAP reduced his sleep apnea but did not provide complete relief of his symptoms. He soon found that if he wore his CPAP with the oral appliance in place, he no longer had sleep apnea at all. This is called combo therapy and can be a fantastic form of treatment for someone with severe or even moderate sleep apnea who finds the pressure on their CPAP machine to be intolerable. If this sounds like something that you would like to benefit from call our office today to talk about your options and see if combo therapy may be a good fit for you!
