We Can Help Solve Your Sleep Apnea Concerns!

Did you know that roughly 35% of adults in the U.S. get less than seven hours of sleep a night? Those with sleep apnea, especially when it is undiagnosed, struggle to fall asleep, stay asleep, and get good, quality shut-eye. Thus, they may snore, toss and turn, suffer from daytime drowsiness, and wake up feeling groggy. Sleep apnea is sleep-disordered breathing in which an individual experiences many involuntary breathing events throughout the night. There are two types of sleep apnea: central and obstructive, with obstructive being more common. This condition affects all ages and genders — about 3%–7% of men have sleep apnea, and 2%–5% of all women suffer from it. Sleep apnea presents itself in many ways, and individuals experience various symptoms. Some are common in both central and obstructive sleep apnea and can include: • Snoring • Gasping, coughing, or choking during the night • Morning headaches • Large neck size • Daytime exhaustion • Irregular breathing during sleep • Frequent nighttime urination • Depression • Lack of energy • Gastroesophageal reflux

It should be noted that having one or more of these symptoms does not necessarily mean you suffer from sleep apnea. A doctor will need to conduct a sleep study to prove or disprove the presence of a sleep condition! If you or someone you know suffers from sleep apnea, or you display some of the common symptoms, we are here to help. Here at Newman Springs Dental Care, we offer effective treatment with a custom dental appliance to help you sleep better, reduce snoring, improve focus throughout the day, and feel more energized during your waking hours. Our team of experts is ready to help you get the sleep apnea treatment you need today. Give us a call at 732-978-4522 for a consultation and screening!

HAVE YOUR GUESTS BEGGING TO COME OVER With These Summer Patio Trends

As we approach the summer months, Americans will spend more time in their outdoor spaces than at any other time of the year. From barbecues to pool parties, your patio will likely host many guests in the coming months — and there’s nothing worse than having an unprepared space that leaves your guests feeling uncomfortable.

people to relax while catching up and is perfect for summer living!

So, before your guests ever arrive this summer, refresh your patio by using these four trends.

Trend No. 3: Space-Focused Serveware While you may have a table or two on your patio, this surface area is limited — and serving trays or dishware can take up space fast. So, use clever serveware made to save space. These dishes are either tiered or boast deep basins to hold more food without taking up too much room. Trend No. 4: Bold Leaf Prints Many outdoor spaces feature concrete or brick flooring. While these materials can look appealing for a while, they eventually become damaged, faded, or dull. So, spice up your outside space with rugs, seat cushions, or pillows with leaf prints that can make your space feel natural yet exciting. These large-scale patterns and green prints can make your outdoor space fun and cozy. These outdoor design trends are easy ways to make your patio space come alive and ensure your guests will be talking about more than just the warm weather.

Trend No. 1: An Unexpected Touch of Wicker Wicker is common for outdoor spaces and a great way to make them feel casual yet comfortable. However, a complete wicker ensemble can sometimes feel overwhelming. You can still achieve this relaxed atmosphere by adding wicker in unexpected places, like a bar cart or small side table. This will help maintain a cozy atmosphere without making the entire patio look uniform or bland. Trend No. 2: Conversation-Centric Seating We sometimes assume that our guests want to move around when we host in outdoor spaces. But oftentimes, people actually enjoy staying in one place and getting to visit in a single area, like a patio that is both functional and fun. You can create this environment by organizing your outdoor furniture so the seats face each other. This cozy setup allows
