How Does A Dentist Treat Sleep Apnea?
There are actually two types of sleep apnea. One is caused by neurological problems, but the more common type, obstructive sleep apnea, is caused by physical problems that cause blockage of the patient’s airway. It can often be treated with several different appliances that keep the patient’s airway open.
Business Name will order a home-based test called WatchPAT to diagnose sleep apnea and determine its severity. The patient will wear a wristband connected to a probe that they will wear on a finger and a sensor they will wear on their upper chest. WatchPAT will collect sleep data that the dentist will download at their office. After examining the data, the dentist will recommend a treatment plan.
What is The Wand?
The Wand is a new technology used for administering local anesthesia. It has a very fine needle that causes little pain. The Wand is also computer-assisted, so it uses just enough anesthetic to numb the treatment area, as opposed to half the jaw. The Wand also resembles a pen and is far less fearsome-looking than the standard syringe.
