Treating Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Snoring can be more than just a mild annoyance. Sleep disorders can affect overall health and can also put a damper on the health of some marriages.
The dentist`s role in identifying and treating snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has become more important as the public has become more aware of sleep disorders.
There are millions of people suffering from the effects of OSA and their sleep partners are suffering from the noise of their snoring. Dentists can play an important role in identifying these patients and can provide important treatment for managing this significant health problem.
It is a wonderful experience as a healthcare provider to have patients tell you that you have changed their lives. I would encourage you to explore this new area in dentistry.
