Dental Sleep Medicine is Trending

Posted on Categories Dental Sleep Medicine, News Author By Lois

If you are on the hunt for something new to add to your  practice, think about adding dental sleep medicine.

Adding this to your list of services is one of the best ways to attract new patients. Best of all these are patients that wouldn’t necessarily visit your dental practice.

Dental Sleep Medicine More Popular than Ever

DSM is becoming more popular. However, there is still plenty of room in the marketplace, especially if you consider how many people snore and how many people suffer from obstructive sleep apnea.

If you follow the DSM Solutions Blog you will recall that obstructive sleep apnea is something that affects people of all sizes and shapes. It also affects people of all ages and both sexes.

Dental Sleep Medicine

Specifically used to treat people with sleeping disorders, including OSA and snoring, dental sleep medicine comprises different methods of therapy to treat mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea and chronic snoring.

How DSM Works

According to the experts from DSM Solutions, dental sleep medicine works by using devices to keep the airways open so that the person suffering is able to breathe.

If you know anything about OSA you know that it causes a person to stop breathing. Breathing cessation happens as many as 20 times every hour.

DSM explains that  mouth guards and/or oral splints may be needed to worn every night or constantly depending on the individual.

Your dental sleep medicine training teaches you and your staff how to diagnose and treat the disorder.

While most dental practices that offer oral appliance therapy have the training to diagnose.

How DSM Helps

People who snore constantly or those who suffer from OSA are usually subjected to CPAP therapy or even surgery. While both work, CPAP is abandoned because of comfort while surgery often fails.

Oral appliance therapy works with the individual using custom made splints or custom made mouth guards. Both of these products work with the individual and are far less cumbersome than CPAP therapy.

DSM Solutions to the Rescue

If you still need convincing, talk to the team from DSM Solutions. You’ll learn that your team gets in on the act as well learning everything about OSA diagnosis and treatment. Everyone is on the same page with DSM Solutions.

If you would like to learn more about dental sleep medicine training for your practice, call or send a direct message to a team member from DSM Solutions.

Dental Sleep Medicine Training is Hot

Posted on Categories Dental Sleep Medicine, News Author By Lois

Dental Sleep Medicine

Dental sleep medicine is quickly becoming the hot trend for dental practices. Because stress and anxiety seems to be more common these days tooth grinding, problems with TMJ and other issues cause problems for patients when they are awake and when they sleep.

Some of these chronic problems include:

  • Tooth Clenching and Grinding
  • Loud Snoring
  • Breathing Cessation
  • TMJD

Of course, along with these issues come the complications including obstructive sleep apnea. Loud snoring and breathing cessation are just two OSA symptoms you should be aware of.

Patients who have OSA see amazing results when using dental sleep medicine for obstructive sleep apnea and other sleep disorders.

People who snore might not ever wake anyone again. Oral appliance therapy, just a portion of dental sleep medicine helps the throat so that you won’t snore.

Dental Sleep Medicine Training Helps Everyone

Posted on Categories Dental Sleep Medicine, Uncategorized Author By Lois

Dental sleep medicine training is probably the best thing you can do for you and your patients. Firstly, you are helping them sleep better. Secondly, you just could save a life.

Adding a service to your menu is great. Not only will you attract new patients, but you will also learn something that you didn’t know before.

Nonetheless, unless you add a service that isn’t overrun in the marketplace, you might not get the dental patient flow that you had hoped for.

Dental Sleep Medicine Training

Dental sleep medicine training is something most dentists don’t offer and is a service that will attract more people to your dental practice. Best of all, these people will probably be patients that wouldn’t normally visit you for regular dental work.

Because dental sleep medicine is used for snoring and other sleeping disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea, those suffering probably already have a dentist.

When you add DSM to your list of services you are gaining a new patient for solutions who just might decide to discontinue dental services with his current dentist and become a patient of yours.

As you can see it’s a win win when you invest in dental sleep medicine training for both you and your team.

It Takes Teamwork

Speaking of teamwork, DSM Solutions works with you and your entire team. This ensures that each and every member of your dental practice understands how to diagnose and treat.

Don’t Forget your Patients

While you may think that’s a silly thing to say it really isn’t. Sometimes people get so wrapped up into something new that they forget to do what they have always been doing.

Market your new service to every patient you have. Sleep disorders and snoring can happen to anyone, but isn’t always something people like to talk about.

Dental Sleep Medicine Saves Lives

Posted on Categories Dental Sleep Medicine, Uncategorized Author By Lois

One of the best ways to help your patients is with dental sleep medicine. When you learn how to diagnose and treat obstructive sleep apnea, a potentially deadly condition, you will be helping them live a healthier and potentially longer life.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea

If you are an avid reader of the DSM Solutions Blog you’ll know that obstructive sleep apnea is a condition that affects billions of people all over the world.

If you have read most of the dental sleep medicine blogs you’ll also remember that OSA often goes undiagnosed, especially if the person affected sleeps alone.

Undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea often gets worse as the person can sometimes wake up gasping for breath dozens of times every hour. With that many cessations in breath you can only imagine what it can do to the heart and the rest of the body.

If a person does not know they have obstructive sleep apnea they risk the following:

OSA Risks:

  • Daytime Sleepiness
  • Mood Swings
  • Depression
  • Problems Staying Awake
  • Loss of Libido
  • Morning Headaches
  • Neck aches

OSA also increases the risk of irregular heartbeats and high blood pressure. People with obstructive sleep apnea are also in the high risk category for heart attack and stroke. People with atrial fibrillation tend to have a higher percentage of OSA as well.

Dental Sleep Medicine Training

While obstructive sleep apnea is a horrible condition there is something that you and your team can do about it and that something is called dental sleep medicine training.

With this training everyone in your practice will learn how to diagnose and treat this potentially deadly condition. There really isn’t a better service to offer patients.

DSM Solutions

DSM Solutions created its customized dental sleep medicine training company to help dental practices just like yours offer new services to patients that normally wouldn’t be attracted to the practice.

When you become a part of the solution you’ll be surprised at how much your practice will grow.

Oral Appliance Therapy

One of the most essential parts of the training program is oral appliance therapy. You and your team will learn how to treat OSA using splint and mouth guard therapy customized to the patient’s needs.

Oral appliance therapy is the alternative to CPAP therapy. If you are unfamiliar, CPAP therapy is the most popular treatment for OSA. Sadly, it often goes unused and that is where oral appliance therapy comes in.

Dental Sleep Medicine Makes Sense

Posted on Categories News Author By Lois

One of the most overlooked dental services you can provide your patients, and potential ones with is dental sleep medicine.

Most dental practitioners would agree that there is nothing more rewarding than helping patients.

From replacing missing teeth to altering a smile, restorative and cosmetic dentistry is a god send to anyone who has decided on porcelain veneers, cosmetic dental crowns or dental implants.

DSM Solutions helps people who snore and people who are suffering from a condition known as obstructive sleep apnea.

The Dangers of Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Start following the DSM Solutions Blog and you will quickly learn everything there is to know about obstructive sleep apnea.

Referred to as OSA in the medical world, the condition causes a person, male or female, to wake up while asleep. You can only imagine how hard that is on the body.

Worse still is that those who sleep alone can live with the condition for years without even knowing it. That means they can wake up as many as 30 times every hour gasping for breath.

Not only does OSA cause moodiness and low libido, it can also cause serious health issues such as congestive heart failure. In addition, obstructive sleep apnea can cause daytime sleepiness putting your life at risk, especially behind the wheel.

Dental Sleep Medicine for Sleep Disorders

DSM Solutions is the answer when it comes to dental sleep medicine for your dental practice. Every team member from DSM Solutions has the training and experience to teach you and your practice how to not only treat, but diagnose sleep disorders as well.

In the past, dentists were only able to provide patients with treatment for sleeping disorders, but not anymore. DSM Solutions is licensed and able to show you how to diagnose this potentially deadly condition that millions of people suffer from.

Everyone Will Benefit

One of the greatest things about adding dental sleep medicine to your list of services is relief. Start talking to your patients about OSA. In reality, they may not know they are suffering.

DSM Solutions teaches you everything you need to know about dental sleep medicine. When you and your team complete the courses provided by DSM Solutions you will know how to bill correctly, diagnosis and treat the disorder. You will also learn how to market your new service to your patients and potential ones.

Dental Sleep Medicine an Exciting New Service

Posted on Categories Dental Sleep Medicine, News, Uncategorized Author By Lois

Like most doctors you became one to help people. Helping people is the nature of the industry with practitioners always seeking new ways to provide comfort and service. One of those services is dental sleep medicine.

Dentists have a huge opportunity to offer people more than dental care with one of the most exciting opportunities available to dental practices.

That’s right, both dentists AND their teams will learn a new service that most practices in the area probably don’t offer. If they do, they probably don’t diagnose and treat obstructive sleep apnea with oral appliance therapy.

Dental Sleep Medicine Training

DSM Solutions has changed the game with an exciting service that will bring in a different kind of patient, a patient who wouldn’t necessarily visit your practice unless you offered what he or she needed. That service is dental sleep medicine.

Services that Help Your Practice Shine

DSM Solutions are the experts when it comes to dental sleep medicine. The experienced and thoughtful team understands that every practice is different.

That is why every dental practice receives a customized dental sleep medicine training package that is suited for the doctor and every member of the dental team.

That means that every team member is equipped to diagnose and treat obstructive sleep apnea.

What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea?

If you are following along but aren’t sure what obstructive sleep apnea is, become a subscriber of the DSM Solutions blog. To summarize, obstructive sleep apnea, which is also called OSA, is a condition that happens to men, women and children although it is most common in men over 50 and men who are overweight.

OSA causes the sufferer to wake up gasping for breath because the throat closes while sleeping. The throat relaxes so much that the airways become narrow. This makes the brain wake the person up so that they can start breathing again.

Customized Dental Sleep Medicine Solutions

If you are unsure, do your research. It’s a fact that people would rather use an oral appliance than CPAP therapy. CPAP therapy is uncomfortable and often times goes unused making it a useless solution for obstructive sleep apnea.

The alternate OSA solutions that you and your team will learn will help people sleep better. Best of all, the solutions are actually treatments that people will use.

DSM for the Best Solution

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.

Dental Sleep Medicine Helps People Cope

Posted on Categories Dental Sleep Medicine, News Author By Lois

With dental sleep medicine training from DSM Solutions, you can open your practice up to an entirely new group of people. Best of all, not every dentist is providing patients with dental sleep medicine.

Most dental practitioners become dentists because they feel the need to help people. As one of those dentists, you are probably always looking for new ways to do just that.

What is Dental Sleep Medicine Training?

Dental sleep medicine training provides dentists and their teams with all of the tools needed to diagnose and treat mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. Using less intrusive methods, it helps the patient get a better night’s sleep using solutions such as oral appliance therapy.

What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea?

Just to refresh your mind, as you will find everything you need to know in the DSM Solutions Blog, obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA is a condition that stops someone from breathing while they are sleeping. Because the back of the throat relaxes, for whatever reason, people gasp for breath waking up and going back to sleep 100s of times every night.

During your training, you will also learn these OSA risk factors and more.

  • Obesity, however not all overweight people have OSA and vice versa
  • Large neck size men 18” or more women 16” or more
  • Family history
  • Hypothyroidism
  • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
  • Certain over the counter and prescription medications
  • Diabetes
  • Narrow airways
  • Tonsils and adenoid enlargement
  • High blood pressure
  • Chronic nasal congestion
  • Smoking
  • Heavy alcohol use
  • Asthma
  • Being a man

Solutions for OSA

While CPAP therapy is the most common treatment, something else that you will learn in your dental sleep medicine training program, it isn’t the only way to combat OSA.

With CPAP being the most common, surgery is the last resort. Some people report no change a few months after OSA surgery having to go back to CPAP therapy and heavy prescription medications.

Oral appliance therapy on the other hand is an incredible way to help your patients get a good night sleep. Oral appliance therapy devices help keep the airways open and are designed for each patient.

During your DSM solutions training, you will learn how to diagnose, treat, and uncover the best oral appliance device along with other therapies that don’t involve surgery.

If you follow the DSM Solutions Blog, you will recall that OSA, short for obstructive sleep apnea, is a condition that affects billions of people all over the world. Here in the US millions of people are affected. The sad thing is some aren’t even aware they have OSA.

OSA causes the back of the throat to collapse or relax while sleeping. This makes it impossible for the sufferer to breathe.

Because the person can’t breathe, the brain wakes him or her up so that they can catch a breath. These episodes can occur twenty or thirty times an hour.

People who have OSA also experience the following symptoms:

  • Loud Snoring
  • Witnessed Breathing Cessation
  • Insomnia
  • Problems Staying Awake During the Day
  • Low Libido
  • Moodiness
  • Headaches
  • Dry Mouth

People at Risk

Although there is no certain factor that puts someone in the high-risk category for obstructive sleep apnea, some things make people more susceptible to OSA.

You could have OSA if you are:

  • Obese
  • Male
  • Postmenopausal
  • On Certain Medications
  • Over 65
  • A Heavy Smoker or Drinker

People who still have tonsils and adenoids, including children, and people who have a large neck, men over 18” and women over 16” are in the high-risk category for obstructive sleep apnea.

With dental sleep medicine, training you will be able to identify the signs and symptoms of OSA and learn how to treat the disorder as well.

What is Dental Sleep Medicine Training?

Dental sleep medicine training teaches dentists and team members how to diagnose and treat mild to moderate OSA. The courses offered by DSM Solutions also show dental practices the administrative side.

With dental sleep medicine training you can really help people.

What is DSM Training for OSA?

Dental sleep medicine training teaches dental practices, doctors and the entire team. Everyone will learn how to diagnose and treat mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.

OSA or obstructive sleep apnea is a condition that relaxes the back of the throat up to thirty times an hour or hundreds of times a night. Because the throat relaxes, the person can’t breathe waking up abruptly before falling back to a restless sleep.

While there is no one reason people suffer from OSA, people who are overweight, middle aged, post menopausal, men or people with large neck sizes are in the high-risk category. People who have a family history of obstructive sleep apnea, people with tonsils and adenoids, and people who take certain over the counter and prescription medications are also prone to OSA.

How Dental Sleep Medicine Training Works

According to the experts from DSM Solutions, dental sleep training works because the program teaches the whole team, not just the doctor or doctors. The courses are custom made and designed for each practice and include everything you and your team need to diagnose and treat OSA with dental sleep medicine. These hands on training courses even include training for billing and selling.
