SPOKANE, WA, October 14, 2010 (Press-News.org) An estimated 40% of adult men and 24% of adult women suffer from habitual snoring, according to a report by the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM). In addition, the AADSM has found that 50% of snorers have Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), a dangerous, life threatening disorder that affects nearly 20 million Americans.
Fortunately, help is close at hand for the nearly two million people living in the Inland Empire, an area that stretches from Western Idaho through Eastern Washington
Inland Empire Sleep Solutions.com conveniently connects patients with a select group of health professionals who are highly trained in treating OSA and a wide variety of sleep disorders.
"Forty million people in the US suffer from chronic long-term sleep disorders each year," notes nationally recognized sleep medicine expert, Dr. Ira Shapira, director of Inland Empire Sleep Solutions. "Obstructive Sleep Apnea can lead to hypertension, heart attack, stroke, depression, muscle pain, fibromyalgia, morning headaches and excessive daytime sleepiness."
OSA happens when the tissue in the upper-airway blocks the entire airway, causing a pause in a person's breathing. This blockage keeps air from getting into the lungs, lowering a person's blood-oxygen levels. For OSA sufferers, this pause in breath can happen for 10 to 30 seconds, sometimes for one minute or more, hundreds of times a night.
Dr. Shapira notes that OSA is often treated with the CPAP machine, but only half the people prescribed CPAP use it regularly. "That decision could kill," Dr. Shapira said.
"Oral appliances may help people who have tried other OSA treatments and been unsuccessful or who have not complied with their treatment," commented Lawrence Epstein, M.D., president, American Academy of Sleep Medicine in a 2006 study. Today, dentists are working closely with physicians and other healthcare professionals to ensure the best patient solutions.
Oral appliance therapy is much better tolerated by patients and treatment compliance is estimated at 90-95%, according to the AADSM. "Oral appliances for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea offer patients a treatment option that is safe, effective and easy to use," according to the National Sleep Foundation. Oral appliances are also approved by the FDA.
