Bellingham dentist adds services to treat sleep apnea

Jeffrey Prager, a Bellingham dentist with more than 30 years of experience, has changed the name of his practice to include the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.

Prager and his staff at the Bellingham Smile Care and Sleep Center have completed advanced training in dental sleep medicine, according to a company press release.

Bellingham Smile Care and Sleep Center now can provide screening for sleep apnea to determine if patients will benefit from a custom-fitted oral appliance that is approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration. Initial and follow-up fitting of appliances is conducted in its office at 1420 King St., Suite B, adjacent to Interstate 5's northbound Lakeway Drive onramp.

Bellingham Smile Care and Sleep Center continues to offer dental care, including examinations, fillings, crowns, teeth whitening and cosmetic dentistry. The practice is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a drive to collect warm coats for three local organizations: Agape House, Blue Skies for Children and Lighthouse Mission Ministries.
