Our wonderful Dr. Julianne C. Doyle has recently changed her name to Julianne D. Bruno. We wanted to make you aware of the change. She hopes to see you in person soon and provide the same great care that you are accustomed to at Brooks Dental.

When embarrassed by crooked or gapped teeth, it can be difficult going to work or school; however, once you undergo the necessary orthodontic treatment to repair and rebuild your smile, having straight teeth can help you to feel more beautiful than before. But it’s not only your aesthetics that will benefit from this change. A local dentist explains how your overall health can be positively impacted by your decision to straighten your pearly whites.

For Valentine’s Day this year, you want to plan a special night for your partner. After everything you two have been through together, it’s time to celebrate your love. While a candle-lit dinner with roses may be a romantic gesture, if you have chronic snoring, what your partner may really need and appreciate is a peaceful night’s rest. Now is the perfect time to finally address your sleep apnea and allow you both to recharge as a couple.

From shopping for the perfect gift to making everyone’s favorite dishes, your stress levels may climb to an all-time high this holiday season. In this situation, quality sleep becomes even more important than usual. If you are dealing with sleep apnea during the holidays, you need to do everything you can to ensure that you and your partner are getting the rest you need to take on whatever comes your way. Here are some ways you can enjoy silent nights and fun-filled days ahead.

The ADA recommends that all dentists should be screening for sleep related disorders (view the full story here).  At Brooks Dental, we aren’t just concerned about your teeth and your smile.

This condition isn’t typically considered a traditional “dental issue,” but we are able to address this issue and potentially save lives.
