Dr. Burhenne has dedicated his career to helping people connect oral health to bodily health. His concern is that dental education focuses solely on teeth, but as soon as you spend one day in real-world, clinical practice, you learn that patients with poor dental health have a host of other systemic, clinical symptoms.

In his book, Dr. Burhenne describes the role of the dentist in diagnosing and treating snoring, mouth breathing, and obstructive sleep apnea.

Functional dentistry utilizes the jaw and musculature as well as the systemic inputs to breathing to help you stop snoring.
