Quotes

 

“We are in the healthcare field, we are at really high risk, we need to take care of the people we care about… and those we don’t”

 

“A lot of the things you see with periodontal disease, are the same factors you see with sleep disordered breathing”

 

“Their conclusion was there is a strong connection between periodontitis and obstructive sleep apnea”

 

“This is something we see everyday, that is what we do… we treat periodontal disease”

 

“That tongue is falling and taking up space, making it hard for you to breath”

 

“People with a higher Mallampati score, are more at risk for having airway disorders”

 

“If your mouth is the garage, and you can only fit a Fiat in the garage, and now you have a Hummer or SUV… what is it doing? It’s taking up too much space”

 

“We can go sometime without food, a little time without water, but we can not go very long without breathing”
