Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is essentially your body choking on itself and causing repeated episodes of partial or complete suffocation sometimes lasting a minute or more. These choking and suffocating episodes repeat constantly throughout the night causing a myriad of health complications including increased risk of stroke, heart attack and even death. The cause of this collapse in the airway is usually due to the soft tissues in the mouth , tongue or throat closing down and blocking airflow during sleep. The first sign of this is usually snoring which happens when you are attempting to breathe through a narrow airway. If left untreated snoring often escalates to full OSA where the narrow airway is now completely blocked. Nearly 1 in 4 adults over 30 are unknowingly suffering from at least mild sleep apnea.
Obstructive sleep apnea is an epidemic in our society. Right now you have a unique opportunity calling: Are you ready to take action? Are you ready to be the “go to” dentist in your community for this needed service? Are you ready to work with the SGS medical network to help hundreds of your patients and others in your area? Are you ready to build real value in your practice both short and long term with new revenue from medical insurances and Medicare?
Our seminar is unique in that we are not a lab, we don’t own a single appliance. Our expert instructors will teach the proper way to treat patients with sleep apnea and share the pro’s and con’s of all the appliances so you’ll leave with a wealth of knowledge and unbiased information. It is our goal for all seminar attendees to be trained and prepared to begin treating sleep disordered breathing in their practice immediately!
