Can dentists give relief to snorers — and their bed mates? - Healthzone.ca

It wasn’t so much the snoring, or her husband’s frequent retreats to the spare room, that caused Yvonne Paech to wake up to the fact she had a serious sleep disorder.

It was her 6-year-old granddaughter: She found it hard to nap with her grandma at the cottage because of all the noise.

The most worrisome wake-up call, however, came in a letter. It warned Paech, 68, that she could lose her drivers’ license if she didn’t get help.

“That’s the first time I thought, this is bigger than just snoring.”

And so Paech embarked on a quest to bring quiet to her North York bedroom. Today, it has led her to what might seem like the strangest place of all: a dentist’s office.

  1. Snoring affected her ability to keep her license? That's strange.

  2. Nope, not too strange. If she has obstructive sleep apnea, narcolepsy, is falling asleep at the wheel and causing accidents. Falling asleep on the job, not too hard to imagine.
