Recent news reports reveal that more and more couples are sleeping in separate bedrooms for a variety of reasons. Most often this is due to one of the bedmates snoring so loudly that the other person prefers to sleep in a separate bed in a separate bedroom.

Although snoring seems harmless, it may be a red flag for a much more serious and sometimes fatal condition called Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). This happens when the air passage deflates, blocking airflow into the lungs. The harder one tries to breathe, the tighter the air passage seals.

Dentists sometimes find themselves faced with the challenge of trying to explain tooth problems to their patients without being able to show them precisely where the trouble areas were or how to treat them. At Dr. Stone's office, patients have the privilege of being able to observe these trouble areas for themselves by making use of the digital radiography technology available.

Dr. Frank Stone has recently implemented digital radiograph technology that provides both single intraoral as well as panoramic full head images. This means he is now able to diagnose and explain tooth problems to his patients more easily. It is a huge leap from the days of photographic film x-rays. While the latter can be compared to an old black-and-white still on a twelve-inch round screen TV, digital x-rays can be likened to a widescreen high-definition image.
