I can't express my satisfaction and gratefulness for and to Dr. Faull. I took my 90 year old mother to Dr. Faull and could not be better pleased. I didn't realize how my own lifestyle would change for the better just by having my mother hearing again. Thank you Dr. Faull for all that you have so lovingly done for mom. I have and will continue to recommend you to all my family, friends and anyone else I come across that could benefit by your very professional services. john Va Verka, Jacksonville FL ...read more

Goodbye to a company who rewards their leaders who hires their friends. How can you ever get a great skill set of people if you are a supervisor who hires only your drunk or party friends. HR hardly gets involved the hiring process and leave the hiring to people who have either no experience or no skills. Someone should take that CSS dept and flush it out. ...read more

Unfortunately, the service this office and the company in general provides is nothing short of horrendous. God help you if you call their office and expect to get a convenient appointment or a returned phone call, but they do mercifully allow the option of sitting in their waiting room, hoping to get lucky and have an RT waste your time instructing you how to use CPAP masks that don't work. They give you thirty days to try different masks if the first one provided doesn't work, but you're out of luck if they can't give you an appointment that fits your schedule within that period. Apparently, they don't understand that poor service is often more costly than treating patients right, as I'm returning the CPAP machine they sold me. Good riddance. Avoid this company if you hate hassles, apathy, and incompetence in a healthcare provider, especially if you're busy. ...read more
Sleep Apnea is a very serious disorder that presents characteristics which interrupt the naturally regulated breathing patterns during sleep. There are numerous treatment options to consider although it has most often been approached with the continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP method. The CPAP consists of a ventilator worn by the individual suffering from sleep apnea which keeps breathing airways open. There is a wide range of sleep apnea degrees of severity and although the CPAP is considered the standard, you may want to experiment with other forms and methods of treatment to find which one works for you. Oral device options- This is usually something that works best for those with minimal to moderate sleep apnea. Some cases with severe sleep apnea have reported success with oral devices but they are generally few. A patient’s personal dentist will fit the device to the mouth specifically for a proper result. The device works by keeping the tongue and other mouth tissues in the back of the throat from collapsing. This keeps the jaw in a forward position which helps to maintain an open airway. The most popular advancement available is the mandibular advancement device, or the (MAD). This commonly snaps over the upper and lower arches with adjustable hinges to achieve the perfect fit. Upper-airway stimulation options- This alternative operates much like a pacemaker is that is records and monitors breathing patterns and will stimulate muscles as needed to keep air passages open. Tongue retaining device options- Another options that is ideal for the mild, up to mid-range sufferers. Operating on a splint concept, it holds the tongue in its place so normal breathing may occur. Apnea strips options- You’ve probably seen this option used by professional athletes. A strip that adheres over the nose creates pressure to maintain clear breathing passages throughout the night. Bariatric surgery options- This can be an extreme option to consider, but it can have amazingly effective results. Geared more toward obese and overweight individuals who have, over time built up layers of fatty tissue that have started to cause harm. Through surgery, this fatty tissue can be removed, potentially correcting nighttime breathing patterns. This option should not be for those just looking tocorrect their sleep apnea problem. They should be interested in changing their entire lifestyle in favor of an overall healthier way of living. This disorder effects up to 10% of all Americans and if left untreated can lead to high blood pressure, increased risk of stroke, heart attacks, and the development of diabetes. Regardless of which treatment model you choose, it is extremely important that you seek help at the very first sign of a sleep disorder.

The enamel of your teeth is the clear outer layer that acts as the strong defense against acids, temperature extremes, all of the biting, chewing, and rigorous wear and tear your teeth go through on a daily basis. Your enamel is not naturally susceptible to erosion although when enamel does erode your teeth are prone to decay, disease, and cavities. Your dental hygienist recommends the daily practice of positive oral care consisting of brushing twice a day, flossing once a day, and to follow through with the suggested professional cleaning twice a year. These are steps that, of course, helpprotect your teethand prevent the erosion of your enamel, but there are further actions you can take to ensure your enamel stays strong. Mainly, being more aware of the things you eat and drink. Believe it or not, it’s the things you eat and drink that have the most adverse effect on your teeth. The following takes a look at some of those things you should make a conscience effort to avoid excessive amounts of to improve the overall health of your teeth. Food and drinks that cause damage to your tooth enamel Candy- Almost all candies contain sugar. Unless you are purchasing only sugar-free candy, it has sugar. Even worse are sour candies. Sour candies contain high acidic counts which is doubly bad for your enamel. Soda- Again, unless you are buying only sugar-free, sodas contain high levels of sugar. Something you may not have known though, is that the worst kinds of sodas are clear kinds. If you’re like me, you’ve probably made the mistake of thinking they are better for you somehow, incorrect. Clear sodas most often have higher counts of citric and ascorbic acids which are terrible for your enamel. Pickles- You might be thinking: ‘not the innocent pickle’, well, yes. The otherwise considered healthy pickled cucumber can work tirelessly to break down your tooth enamel if consumed in excessive amounts due to the highly acidic brine the pickle soaks in. Fruit juices- Fruits and fruit juices can be good, they do however contain high levels of acidity. If you consume fruit and fruit juices in large quantities, it is suggested you seek out varieties marked ‘low-acid’. Tomato sauce- Since tomatoes are considered a fruit, and we already established that fruit juices will contain the same acidities, it only stands to reason sauce made from tomatoes will as well. However, that’s not all, tomato sauce has the power to stain your enamel over time. Raisins- This sticky fruit may have some nutritional values but when it comes to oral health, they are not good for your teeth. Miscellaneous- Coffee, tea, chocolates and other various high acidity, high staining elements must be regarded with moderation. No one is saying to never eat or drink these items ever again, rather than to just raise your awareness. Being aware of your teeth and how the things you eat and drink might affect them. There are things you can do to help protect your teeth beyond your daily oral hygiene routine. Drinking milk can help to neutralize acids and chewing sugar-free gum for 10 minutes can also minimize potentially harmful build-up of acidic bacteria. Always follow the daily dental care routine recommended by your dentist. If you need help building an oral care routine,contact Kanehl Dentalat www.kanehldental.com today! ...read more
