Otherwise known as Constant Positive Airway Pressure, CPAP therapy is the gold standard choice in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea with significantly higher success rates than corrective surgery or dental appliances in moderate to severe cases. A pressure is applied gently to the airway to relieve flaccid anatomical muscle tone during sleep through an externally affixed mask. The patient’s perception is that like a fan, that translates into an airway splint or pressure to keep the airway open during sleep. Through repetitive use and as their pre-treatment symptoms subside, improved breathing is achieved.

Food Cravings And What They Mean
Did you know that certain food cravings are associated with a nutrient deficiency? Craving salt equals a lack of trace minerals, craving sweets indicates a chromium deficiency, chocolate cravings mean a lack of magnesium, craving dairy and cheese indicates an essential fatty acids deficiency and a red meat craving means you need iron and/or B12. When your body lacks vital nutrients, it can lead to chemical imbalances which alter the pH of your tissues. Ignoring the reasons behind your cravings won’t change them and will not improve your overall health. Nutritional testing and precisely formulated nutraceuticals are the best ways to find out what nutrients you lack, give your body what it needs, and handle those unwanted cravings for good.
New Year, New Smile!
Are you ready to kick off a new year with a dazzling new smile? Have you considered dentures? Dentures are removable replacements for your missing teeth, made to appear and function as well as your natural teeth and surrounding gum tissues. Missing teeth can result in your face taking on a sunken-like appearance. Dentures can effectively reverse that by providing a structure with definition back into your cheeks, making you look younger and livelier. You can enjoy a straighter and more even smile and the procedure will complete the spaces where there were once gaps. This year, give yourself a confident and healthy smile!
Laughter is the Best Medicine
I told my doctor that I broke my arm in two places – he told me to stop going to those places.
Boost Your Motivation & Drive!
Tyrosine is an amazing amino acid that our body uses to make the neurotransmitter dopamine. Dopamine is what boosts motivation, drive, determination and focus. It is our feel good center and reward system. During times of stress there is a decline in the levels of certain neurotransmitters. By mitigating this decline, l-tyrosine supplementation optimizes brain function and memory and helps to decrease cognitive fatigue. Tyrosine is also a precursor to the thyroid hormones T3 and T4, which are responsible for healthy thyroid function, maintaining metabolism and energy.

Q: The lenses in my glasses are scratched up. Can I not get those scratches buffed out? A: That’s pretty difficult. Scratches and scuffs typically damage the coatings on the lens, and the coating itself cannot be re-applied or polished up without making the lens hazy. Ideally the coatings ought to make the lenses more durable. Make sure to ask us at Mosaic Optometry about options for lens coatings, proper lens care and warranties with your next eyewear purchase!
