If you are looking for a medical professional with extensive expertise in sleep apnea, call Erika Mason DDS. Most of you who know Dr. Mason realize she is a dental professional with very high standards. And you probably also know she is dedicated to continuing education and expanding her knowledge to better serve patients.
In an effort to expand on this initiative, Dr. Mason is focusing on a ‘whole heath’ approach as it relates to dentistry. Part of that charge is helping people who have sleep apnea but cannot tolerate a CPAP. Dr. Mason is AADSM (American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine) certified– important if you are interested in the oral appliance.
As many as 55% cannot use the device most often prescribed to treat sleep apnea
Those who cannot tolerate it often go without treatment, which is a serious health risk. And those left untreated feel lethargic and sleep deprived. Sufferers may not be aware there is a CPAP alternative or where to get it.
But there is another option –the sleep apnea dental device. We can fit you with a SomnaMed or another brand of device depending on your other health, teeth and jaw issues.
If you, a friend, or relative wants to know more about the oral appliance for sleep apnea to replace your CPAP, call us at 804-745-0666, Mon-Thurs, 7am-5pm. Erika Mason DDS is located at 1061 Hull Street Road Midlothian, VA 23112.
