The Benefits of Airway and Sleep Assessments
Dr. Weitz’s comprehensive sleep and airway assessments help resolve issues related to poor sleep. Her extensive expertise, gentle approach, and patient dedication provide:
What to Expect: Your Airway and Sleep Assessment Process
Initial Consultation
Your assessment begins with a thorough consultation. Dr. Weitz will review your medical history, discuss your sleep patterns, and learn about the symptoms you’re experiencing. This detailed evaluation guides the development of a sleep health assessment plan.
Comprehensive Sleep Assessment
Dr. Weitz will conduct a comprehensive sleep assessment to gather information about your sleep health. This may include questionnaires, discussions about sleep habits, and potentially a home sleep study.
Airway and Breathing Assessment
As part of the process, Dr. Weitz will perform an airway assessment to evaluate the structure and function of your airway. The goal is to understand how your airway and breathing health impact your sleep quality. This assessment will help us recognize obstructions or abnormalities contributing to breathing difficulties during sleep. A breathing assessment will also be conducted to analyze your breathing patterns and ensure they are not impacting your sleep quality.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on the findings from your airway assessment and/or sleep health assessment, Dr. Weitz will develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. This may include recommendations for lifestyle changes, the use of oral appliances, or referrals to other specialists if necessary. The focus is on providing effective solutions to improve your sleep quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Pearly Whites Dental Care diagnose disorders like sleep apnea?
+We cannot diagnose sleep disorders at Pearly Whites Dental Care. However, we can perform comprehensive airway and sleep assessments to identify potential breathing issues and sleep health concerns. Based on our findings, we may recommend further evaluation by a sleep specialist or a medical doctor who can offer a definitive diagnosis.
Can children benefit from airway and sleep assessments?
+Yes, children as young as four can benefit from airway and sleep assessments. Early identification of airway and breathing issues in younger patients stops underlying issues from affecting their development.
What should I do to prepare for an airway and sleep assessment?
+Before your airway or sleep assessment, we recommend recording your sleep patterns and noting any difficulties in falling asleep, staying asleep, or breathing issues encountered during sleep. You should make a list of symptoms you or your child have experienced, such as snoring, gasping for air during sleep, daytime sleepiness, or behavioral changes. We also encourage patients to write down any questions or concerns about their sleep health prior to their visit.
