Dental care is much different than it used to be. 100 years ago no one would have ever thought it was possible to change the color much less the shape of the smile.

Fast forward to 2021 and dental care is much more than teeth and gums.

These days dental care technology and DSM Solutions is raising the bar with dental products and services that were unheard of in the past.

The Future of Dental Care Technology

If what has gone on in the past twenty years is any indication the dental world will continue to grow by leaps and bounds. There is no question about it.

From dental implants to gummy smile lifts there is no stopping the future of dental technology. Consequently, the dental world is now seeing further advancements with dental sleep medicine.

Dental Sleep Medicine and Dental Care

Dental sleep medicine is used for people who snore and for people suffering from mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.

Knowing how to diagnose and treat patients is an excellent way to help. Especially your existing patients and people who would never have scheduled an appointment.

Offering dental sleep medicine to patients and potential ones is an excellent way to grown your patient base as well.

Oral Appliance Therapy and Dental Sleep Medicine

Oral appliance and splint therapy is a huge part of dental sleep medicine. Consequently, you and your team will learn how to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA and also learn the best way to treat it.

During your training sessions with DSM Solutions you will also learn how to bill correctly. The experts who have invested years into dental sleep medicine will also show you how to implement this amazing service into your dental practice.

Snoring and Dental Sleep Medicine

Snoring, while it is a major sign of OSA, isn’t always associated with the disorder. In fact, some people who have obstructive sleep apnea may not snore at all. DSM Solutions explains that chronic snorers can also benefit from oral appliance therapy and dental sleep medicine as people who snore also have relaxed throat muscles.

If you have ever shared a bed, or a household with loud snorers, you will know how annoying it is.

With that being said, it is just as annoying and downright dangerous for the person who snores every time he or she falls asleep. Thankfully, you and your dental practice can help.

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.
