Dr. Cheek’s Sleep Apnea Story

Posted on December 6, 2018 by writeradmin.

Sometimes the caregiver needs care. Here is Dr. Cheek’s testimony about her personal experience with sleep apnea.

Dr. Cheek's CT Scan

In my early forties, I began waking up during the night with my heart racing and had trouble falling back asleep. I visited my MD who prescribed me anti-anxiety and sleep medications, but even on these medications, I woke most nights, sometimes with a gasp, and then lay there awake for a couple of hours.

No ice cream for these sensitive teeth!

Posted on June 8, 2018 by Cristi Cheek.

I love the warm weather of the approaching summertime – a time when my family enjoys the beautiful sunshine and eats cold watermelon and homemade ice cream outside on our back porch.  For people with sensitive teeth, however, this activity that my family so enjoys is not a treat.  Cold foods and beverages make their teeth ache.  [Read more…]

If It Ain’t Broke….FIX IT!!!

Posted on February 25, 2015 by Cristi Cheek.

Dentistry has traditionally been a business based upon need, and often patients have the mindset that if insurance does not cover something, they don’t want it. I have found, however, that when patients truly value dental health and wellness, they disregard insurance limitations and opt for ideal restoration of their teeth and prevention of dental problems.

You may be causing damage to your teeth and you aren’t even aware of it!

Posted on June 17, 2014 by Cristi Cheek.

Over the past few years I have awoken several times during the night from the same terrifying nightmare – my teeth are crumbling into pieces and falling out in my hand. [Read more…]
