Once you have your practice up to speed you can start marketing your new services. You’ll be surprised at how many new people you’ll attract to your dental practice when you offer something that people wouldn’t normally find in a dentists’ office.

Marketing Dental Sleep Medicine

After you and your team have officially become dental sleep medicine providers it’s time to let the rest of the world know about it.

You could be the only DSM provider in your community, but if no one knows about it, no one will be able to get the help they need.

If you are already marketing your dental practice on social media be sure to add your new DSM service to your profile.

Remember to post about it and offer free evaluations. This is an excellent way to promote your dental practice on social media. It is also an extraordinary way to bring new business into your dental practice.

New Business for Your Dental Practice

Chronic snorers and people with sleeping disorders most probably have a dentist already, but that doesn’t mean they won’t want to become your patient.

Sleep Apnea Training for Your Dental Practice

Posted on Categories News Author By Lois

Now you can add a service to your menu that will literally change people’s lives and make them healthier. Of course, as a dentist you are already doing that, but just imagine if you could take your dental practice one step further with sleep apnea training for dentists.

A New Frontier with Dental Sleep Medicine

Most cosmetic dentistry procedures are already flooding the market with tooth straightening systems, in office whitening and same day dentistry. While all of these treatments are wonderful and will increase dental patient flow, none will bring in an entirely new patient base.

Sleep Apnea Training for Dentists

Unlike some sleep apnea training courses that only provide you with solutions to the problem, DSM Solutions gives you and your team the tools you need to both diagnose and treat mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. That’s right, you AND your team.

Another problem with other dental sleep medicine courses is that the dentist is the only one who ever learns anything. With DSM Solutions every team member will have hands on instruction so that they can learn everything there is to know about sleep apnea training for dentists.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea

OSA is a condition that causes people to wake up because they have stopped breathing. These episodes occur around 30 times every hour. Sadly, OSA causes all sorts of problems and can even lead to more serious health issues. For all there is to know about OSA, check out the DSM Blog.

OSA Training for All Parts of the Puzzle

When you work with the team from DSM Solutions you will get the inside scoop on billing and other paperwork issues that come with offering dental sleep medicine to your patients. Your team will too.

Dental sleep medicine training, just like restorative and cosmetic dentistry changes people’s lives. While you probably already know how much your practice has helped people with teeth and gum issues, it’s time to consider how much dental sleep medicine will help your patients.

Why Add Dental Sleep Medicine to Your Practice

Posted on Categories Dental Sleep Medicine, News Author By dsmsolutions

Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a problem that affects an approximate 30 million people in the United States, yet only a small percentage are receiving proper care for their condition.  Dentists are a valuable resource to the patients who are seeking treatment alternatives.

Adding Dental Sleep Medicine to your practice is crucial in three ways.  First, you will have the opportunity to help fill a “hole in the market” for Obstructive Sleep Apnea therapy.  Second, you and your team will be providing your patients with a higher standard of comprehensive care.  Third, you will be offering a service that is not only fiscally rewarding, but morally rewarding.  The benefits will resonate through every facet of your office.

The “gold standard” of care is the CPAP (continuous positive air pressure) machine.  By increasing the pressure inside the airway, it prevents collapse from outside factors like the tongue, soft palate and excess weight around the neck.  While there are no therapy options more effective than CPAP, about 50% of patients prescribed one are failing to use it to the standard of care, if they are using it at all.

So where does this leave patients who are seeking better sleep and better health, but cannot tolerate the treatment they have been prescribed?

Oral Appliances are a highly effective, non-invasive treatment modality for those patients who have failed CPAP use, or are tested at levels too low to require more aggressive therapy.  When diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, many physicians only give the patient one option for care, independent of the severity of the condition.  By bringing Dental Sleep Medicine into your practice, you will be able to assess each case and provide appropriate care to each patient based on their individual needs.

The good news?  All the skills required to fabricate one is already in your and your team’s wheelhouse as dental providers.  The best news?  Only dentists are allowed to fabricate Oral Appliances, allowing you to step in and help bridge the gap between proper diagnosis and proper care.

Adding new options to your “menu” of services is a valuable way to grow your practice, add production and include new, innovative ways to care for your patients’ overall health.  Dental Sleep Medicine is a subject patients, dentists and sleep physicians have been talking about more and more.  The signs and symptoms of Obstructive Sleep Apnea are everywhere.

As a dental health provider, you have an incredibly unique view into this condition … directly at the site of the obstruction, the throat!  So many indications are right in the mouth, a place that no other health provider diagnosing this condition looks at with any knowledge.  You and your team look here all day, every day, opening the opportunity to recognize OSA in your patients on a daily basis.

The dental issues you address the most, bruxism, porcelain failure, acid erosion, are all signs of Obstructive Sleep Apnea.  Identifying these patients immediately will uncover that nearly 25% of your existing patient base has Obstructive Sleep Apnea, and the large portion that are diagnosed but not using their CPAP.

Sleep plays an enormous role in maintaining our bodies.  We rely on it to restore our muscles, vital organs, brains and emotional health.  When you are not getting proper sleep, the risks are high and costly.  In additional to physical breakdown, like heart attack, stroke and hypertension, you are at a higher risk for depression.

By identifying and treating sleep apnea early, patients can prevent not only many of these health issues, but social issues as well.  An estimated 25% of people sleep in separate bedrooms because of snoring, a sign of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, and putting massive strain on relationships.

Both treating patients and finding patients the correct treatment plan will help your patients achieve overall health as well as mend emotional issues.  Providing patients with a therapy that not only works, but allows them to be closer to loved ones is a rewarding mission.  As dentists and dental providers, you are used to patients being afraid, in pain, or enduring procedures they would rather not have to go through.

When providing patients with high quality Dental Sleep Medicine, you are treating patients who want to be there and are grateful for both the services you are providing as well as the outcomes it will yield.  It feels good for a patient to tell you that you have saved their marriage, that they are closer to their families because they can finally stay awake, that they are getting a promotion at work because of increased productivity.

Sleep apnea is not a condition that is getting better in the United States.  Being a qualified provider of sleep apnea therapy will be a benefit to your patients and the public alike.  Many patients are searching for alternative therapies to their CPAPs as we speak.

All types of practices will benefit from adding Dental Sleep Medicine.  It fits comfortably into the schedule, can be spear headed from team member in order to keep the doctor’s burr turning and reaps generous rewards.  Implementing it is a matter of clear systems and protocols, as well as communication office wide.
