May is Better Sleep Month

Let's Talk About Airway Health, Snoring, Tongue Ties, and More

At Epic Dentistry, we believe better sleep starts with better breathing—and the mouth is often the first place to look. That’s why we’re recognizing Better Sleep Month this May by raising awareness about how oral health, airway function, and sleep are deeply connected.



Many people are surprised to learn that issues like snoring, teeth grinding, mouth breathing, and even fatigue can all point to airway dysfunction. As a dental practice that takes a whole-health approach, we look beyond cavities and cleanings to understand what’s really affecting your sleep —and your quality of life.


Throughout May, we’ll be sharing insights on:

  • Signs your airway may be affecting your sleep
  • How tongue ties and oral posture play a role in breathing
  • The link between TMJ disorders and nighttime grinding
  • Sleep health in kids — from snoring to behavioral changes
  • What our team looks for in an airway screening


Whether you’re waking up tired, noticing signs in your child, or just want to understand how dentistry fits into the bigger picture, we’re here to help you breathe easier and sleep deeper.
