Dental Sleep Medicine

Monday, February 01, 2010

Dental Sleep Medicine

Sleep apnea is known to be potentially dangerous and fatal to the person suffering with the disease. One of the major effects of this sleep disorder is excessive daytime sleepiness. This is such a serious component to sleep apnea that in the state of Ohio, an individual who drives a school bus may be required to have a sleep study, a polysomnogram, before obtaining their license.

Excessive Daytime Sleepiness can lead to motor vehicle accident with fatal consequences as was the case in Canada where a woman fell asleep while driving killing two people. In the trial was driver was acquitted because she was unaware of the sleep disorder.

If you are experiencing the symptoms of a sleep disorder which may include excessive daytime sleepiness, gasping for air during sleep or snoring, please give us a call at 561-394-9000 we will arrange for a consultation to help you determine if you are suffering with sleep apnea. Don’t take this lightly, you could save someone’s life or maybe even your own. Kenneth A. Mogell, D.M.D.
