sleep dentistry
introduction
Sleep. It’s something we all need. It’s
something many of us cherish. It’s also
something a lot of us don’t get enough of,
the most prevailing reasons of which are
due to snoring and obstructive sleep apnea
(OSA). According to the World Health
Organization, more than 100 million people suffer from OSA, which can lead to
many various – and sometimes fatal –
health problems. In recent years, the dental
profession has stepped to the forefront of
addressing, diagnosing and treating sleeprelated issues. Sleep dentistry is becoming
more than just “niche” practice, it is changing how we practice as patients ask more
about it. Dentaltown Magazine is pleased to
present this special section – perhaps you’ll
find the world of sleep dentistry is cooler
than the other side of the pillow. n
