10-minute procedure puts
children's snoring problems to rest.

Poor immune function. Fatigue. Behavioral problems. Concentration loss. Across the nation, children in every socioeconomic category are suffering from these and many other effects of sleep disorders. In fact, a recent study showed that 85% of students who were chronically sleep-deprived developed a sleep deficit in which their bodies could not function properly.

If you have a child who snores and presents some of the symptoms listed above, look to Dr. Thomas M. Crews at Statesboro ENT and Hearing Clinic. He has helped thousands of children return to restful nights and active days with a ten-minute outpatient procedure.

"Many parents come in with concerns that their child may need surgery at a hospital," says Dr. Crews. "And they're relieved to discover that the procedure can be performed very quickly in my office."

Perhaps most alarming is that snoring in children may be a sign of sleep apnea, a condition that can cause breathing to involuntarily stop for up to 60 seconds straight, 30 times an hour, while sleeping. "Parents should not assume that snoring is a normal, harmless habit for their children," says Dr. Crews, adding, "It could be something much more serious."

Sleep apnea is often associated with enlarged tonsils and adenoids as well as relaxation or decreased muscle tone in the upper airway during sleep, all of which Dr. Crews can treat.

Dr. Crews is board-certified in otolaryngology/head and neck surgery and has helped thousands of children with snoring and other sleep-related breathing problems.
