Greenwood, Indiana (August 11, 2014) – Gillum Dentistry, a trusted Greenwood dental practice, is continuing to offer treatment for sleeping disorders like snoring and sleep apnea as quality sleep is important in keeping human growth hormones (HGH) at naturally high levels. HGH is the secret as to why children are so full of life, youth, and energy, and it is also the reason why people have firm muscles, strong bones, elastic skin, and fluid and flexible joints. While aging normally reduces HGH production, lack of slow wave deep restorative sleep can further diminish that.

Dr. Richard Gillum, a respected Greenwood dentist of over 30 years, is very passionate about providing dental solutions to sleeping problems as this is a possible way of addressing the ravages of aging. Common signs of getting old such as loosened and thinned skin, wrinkles, age spots, graying hair, muscle loss, back pain, low energy levels, slower thought processing, and frustration in bed are often aggravated by lack of sleep. While many see sleeping pills as a viable option, it is not an acceptable long-term treatment as this does not address the root causes of sleeping problems unlike dental sleep medicine procedures.

At Gillum Dentistry, patients get a thorough treatment that starts with a comprehensive examination even if they have already participated at a hospital sleep study. This ensures that Dr. Gillum can come up with an appropriate Appraisal Evaluation to guide patients on how their personalized treatments will proceed. He will then utilize his years of experience and a highly effective oral appliance to improve sleep so that patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea can get the good night’s sleep they need to produce HGH.

Dr. Richard Gillum also sees to it that every patient is treated and pampered like family. His dental practice makes sure all dental sleep medicine treatments are done right the first time, with customer comfort and satisfaction in mind. In addition, he provides useful tips on how his patients can get the best rest and sleeping experience.

Aside from dental sleep medicine, Dr. Gillum also offers a variety of family and cosmetic dentistry services. A complete list of his dental offerings can be viewed at GillumDentistry.com.
