44 million Americans suffer from chronic clenching and grinding resulting in:
• BROKEN CROWNS
• SORE MUSCLES
• WORN TEETH
• DISTURBED SLEEP
• NECK AND JAW PAIN
• FATIGUE
Dr. Warren M. Krutchick has a simple solution to protect teeth, muscles and joints. It’s called the NTI-tss Plus™
What is the NTI-tss Plus?
The NTI-tss plus is a small, taco-shaped device that fits securely and comfortably on your upper or lower front teeth while you sleep. It is a small custom fit piece of thermoplastic, not a large obtrusive bite guard.
How does it work?
Everyone clenches their teeth at night. The NTI-tss Plus reduces the intensity of clenching by not allowing the back teeth to touch. By discluding the posterior teeth, grinding and clenching are minimized. This protects your teeth from damage and wear.
NTI-tss Plus
What is it made of?
The NTI-tss Plus is made of a safe, clear, hard thermoplastic material. It’s a non-porous, so it won’t stain or absorb odors. It’s non-allergenic and easy to care for. The NTI-tss Plus does not contain monomer or Bisphenol-A.
Will my insurance cover this?
Some insurance plans will. Consult your dental and medical insurance companies for details on coverage.

Somnodent® MAS Dental Appliance for Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
No comments · Posted by Admin in Sleep Apnea
SomnoDent® MAS DESIGNED FOR SLEEP.
The comfortable, effective, custom treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
Comfort of SomnoDent® MAS
The SomnoDent® MAS is comfortable and easy to wear. The appliance uses the smallest amount of material possible, reducing bulkiness in the mouth. It is made up of two separate pieces, which allows you to speak, yawn, and drink. Our design does not limit tongue space which results in a high comfort level with the SomnoDent® MAS.
The SomnoDent® MAS
The Somnodent® MAS is a Mandibular Advancement Splint (MAS) that treats mild, moderate and severe OSA by moving the lower jaw slightly forward. This movement tightens the soft tissue and muscles of the upper airway, which prevents obstruction while you sleep. The SomnoDent® MAS also prevents the tissues of the upper airway from vibrating as air passes over them, which is the major cause of snoring.
Effectiveness of SomnoDent® MAS
The SomnoDent® MAS is a highly effective solution, for the majority of patients suffering from Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Its exceptional levels of patient acceptance and compliance as well as treatment efficacy are backed by a large body of clinical research which you can find on the website somnodent.com
Durability
The SomnoDent® MAS is made from premium grade materials to insure durability. Each appliance is manufactured in a FDA registered facility under quality systems designed to meet FDA requirements. Your SomnoDent® MAS will pass a quality check to ensure you are receiving a custom appliance made to Dr. Warren M. Krutchick’s specifications.
The SomnoDent® MAS comes with a one year warranty against manufacturing defects. Proper Care and maintenance of your appliance should result in a long life of comfortable and effective use.
Customized SomnoDent® MAS
The SomnoDent® MAS is a custom-made appliance with a number of key features that are significant improvements on other oral appliances. Consisting of upper and lower dental plates with a unique patented fin-coupling component, the SomnoDent® MAS permits normal mouth opening and closing. Our appliance also provides adjustable levels of lower jaw advancement. This improves the comfort and effectiveness of treatment, as the jaw is moved only as far as is required to treat the condition.

Why Is Dr. Warren M. Krutchick’s Sedation Dentistry Different?
No comments · Posted by Admin in Sedation Dentistry
Many general dentists claim to be sedation dentists.
There are several different levels of sedation available for dental patients.
The lightest form of sedation is nitrous oxide or laughing gas and is sometimes combined with valium. This mild form of sedation does not require any special certification and is used by many general dentists.
If you’re very anxious about seeking dental treatment, you may opt for deeper forms of sedation that place the patient into a twilight sleep state, in which they are very comfortable, have very little memory of the procedure and are more comfortable post-op than patients who have not been sedated.
In order to provide these deeper levels of sedation a dentist must pursue advanced training along with an examination process leading to a New York State certification for sedation. In addition, there are yearly requirements to maintain this certificate. Currently there are only a handful of dentists in Western New York who are certified for deeper sedation. Dr. Warren M. Krutchick earned this certificate over ten years ago at NYU and he welcomes any questions you might have.
Please give Dr. Warren M. Krutchick a call at (716) 675-9225 and inquire about our sedation dentistry.
