Sleep issues are not new – in fact, the 2002 National Sleep Foundation (NSF) Sleep in America poll found that 74 percent of American adults are experiencing a sleeping problem a few nights a week or more, 39 percent get less than seven hours of sleep each weeknight, and 37 percent are so sleepy during the day that it interferes with daily activities.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea, considered a sleeping disorder, affects tens of millions of Americans and is associated with obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, increased risk of heart attack, stroke, memory/performance problems, depression and higher accident rates. SomnoMed’s SomnoDent® is a custom-made oral appliance that positions the lower jaw slightly forward of its usual position. This has the effect of keeping the airway open, preventing snoring and treating the serious chronic condition of Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

According to the New England Journal of Medicine, 24% of men and 9% of women have sleep apnea*. What does this mean for the average Dental practice? For a practice that has 500 adult men and 500 adult women, this means there are 165 patients that are candidates for the SomnoDent treatment.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Fundamentals teaches Dentists how to screen and identify these patients, resulting in satisfied patients and additional income for your practice.

“SomnoDent is a unique solution for treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea that has unprecedented compliance rates among patients,” said Ralf Barschow, CEO of SomnoMed “We look forward to helping dentists introduce this solution in their practices to help patients sleep better, which in turn creates an overall healthier lifestyle.”
