Sleep Apnea - Why Don't More People Get Tested?

Tuesday, November 19, 2013

Researchers believe that only 10% of people who has a sleep breathing disorder like obstructive sleep apnea have been diagnosed. So why don't the other 90% get tested for sleep apnea?

• They don't know that sleep apnea exists.
• They don't know they have a problem. They have been feeling so sleepy and exhausted, every day, for so long that they don't remember NOT feeling that way. These folks probably live alone so they don't have someone complaining about their loud snoring!
• They know they probably have sleep apnea but are in denial about it being a serious health problem.
• They know they probably have sleep apnea but have heard such horror stories about sleep studies and  treatment with CPAP that they are avoiding the whole thing!

Do you, or a loved one, fit one of these descriptions? Sleep apnea is serious but it can be treated without using a CPAP machine. Oral appliances are highly effective and very comfortable.

Find out more about sleep apnea by contacting Florida sleep apnea dentist Dr. Kenneth Mogell at 561-394-9000. Proud to be only one of 3 board certified sleep apnea dentists in the State of Florida! Treating sleep apnea patients in Boca Raton, Vero Beach, Jupiter and Port St. Lucie.
