Meet Your Wilmington Sleep Apnea Expert

Dr. Casey Jones

Dr. Casey Jones is a wife, mother of two, person of faith, lover of life, breath re-trainer, and dentist. As someone with dysfunctional and Sleep Disordered Breathing herself, she brings critical thinking and a desire to help inspire and empower each and every one of her patients achieve their best health.

As a dentist she was regularly seeing signs and symptoms of dysfunctional and Sleep Disordered Breathing in her patients. These patients often suffered from more systemic disease than their functionally breathing counterparts and frequently reported suffering from chronic headaches, anxiety, depression, and racing minds. They were often waking up several times a night or having difficulty falling asleep. More often than not, they were at higher risk for cavities, gum disease, and tooth grinding.

Not everyone with Sleep Disordered Breathing is “bad enough” to need a CPAP or a sleep appliance. Nor is everyone willing to undergo surgery to change their jaws and improve their airway.

Dr. Jones realized there had to be a different way and that’s what drove her to become both a Buteyko Breathing Instructor and Oxygen Advantage Advanced Breathing Instructor. The non-invasive, non-surgical approach of retraining our breathing can be used as a first line of treatment or as a compliment to traditional therapies.

There is no one right answer for everyone, but one thing is for sure… breathing and sleep were never meant to compete.  If they have to, we hope breathing will win every time, but sleep is important and lack of quality sleep affects every system in the body! The inspiration behind Sleep Wellness Wilmington is to find a way for patients to do both.  Our approach is collaborative and comprehensive because it is all connected, and only by getting to the root cause will we empower you to take control of your own health.
