Attention Deficit Disorder

Children with sleep disordered breathing often wet the bed,
have poor concentration, swing between bouts of low energy and hyperactivity, and generally fail to thrive.
They develop behavioural problems and are often misdiagnosed as having Attention Deficit Disorder.

That's why Dr Stephenson and his staff at Albany Dental Clinic are now the North Brisbane and Pine Shire providers for Home Sleep Studies Australia.

Information is gathered about your sleep pattern, breathing, oxygenation and muscle activity.
Home Sleep Studies' Chief sleep scientist, Chris Bunney and Specialist Respiratory and Sleep Physician, Dr James Jamieson provide the analysis and medical diagnosis of sleep disorders.

Dr David Stephenson is able to assess your child's airway, and if necessary order an at-home sleep study. Often the study will show a dramatic drop in blood oxygen due to mucous blockage of the nasal airway during sleep. Thus the brain is starved of oxygen and your child's health suffers.

So what causes the nose and sinuses to block up?
Why do so many children end up with enlarged tonsils and adenoids?
Why do so many kids have to get grommets because their ear canals block with mucous?

What is going on?

That's where Dr Cliff J Hawkins can provide the answer!
