Renowned Harlem Dentists Answer Questions About Sleep Apnea Treatment

Sleep apnea is a fairly common and sometimes fatal condition in which the body ceases to breathe during sleep. While those that suffer from sleep apnea have a variety of treatments available, many do not realize that their dentist can offer solutions

New York, NY (prHWY.com) July 12, 2012 - Sleep apnea is a fairly common and sometimes fatal condition in which the body ceases to breathe during sleep. While those that suffer from sleep apnea have a variety of treatments available, many do not realize that their dentist can offer solutions. One Harlem Dentist clinic, renowned for their cosmetic dentistry and general oral care aim to change that with a new informational initiative.

One of the many causes of sleep apnea includes having small or narrow air passages. This condition can result in Obstructive Sleep Apnea, which can affect both children and adults. The Harlem dentists at East Harlem Dental can help educate you on possible treatment of PAO. Signs include excessive tooth grinding, large tonsils, snoring or crowding of the teeth in the front of the mouth.

What many people who suffer from sleep apnea tend to ask about is "the mask." According to Harlem dentists Dr. Fomenko, "While the traditional treatment relative to sleep apnea has been the CPAP machine, what some folks call, 'the mask', we know that many patients simply do not want to wear the CPAP."

Common complaints about the CPAP machine include bulkiness, noisiness and discomfort. "People also come to us complaining that their CPAP's are disturbing their spouse. They don't want to sleep in separate rooms, but, you know, we all have to breathe."

That, says, Dr. Fomenko, is why many people have been asking about several innovative oral appliances designed and developed specifically to treat sleep apnea. "These appliances have been effective for many patients suffering from sleep apnea. And they do so without being loud or uncomfortable."

And, according to the dental professionals at this Harlem dentist clinic, some additional benefits of these oral appliance apnea treatments include an easier adjustment period and portability. Because of these benefits, this Harlem dentist clinic, already well known for cosmetic dentistry Harlem, have begun an initiative to help educate their patients to the reality of and treatments for sleep apnea.
