Fight Sleep Apnea
I is called the silent killer
— obstructive sleep apnea
(OSA). According to the National
Institutes of Health, more than 42
million Americans suffer from this
chronic disorder, which affects sleep
and wakefulness. Annually, sleep dis-
orders, sleep deprivation and sleepi-
ness add an estimated $16 billion to
the national health care bill.
OSA is a potentially life-threatening
breathing disorder with serious health
consequences, including excessive
daytime sleepiness, cognitive dis-
turbances, depression, hypertension,
cardiovascular and cerebrovascular
diseases. OSA is as prevalent as adult
diabetes and asthma and conservative
estimates indicate that nearly 10 mil-
lion Americans remain undiagnosed.
The typical answer for those with
OSA meant wearing a cumbersome
mask called a continuous positive air-
way pressure device or CPAP. It is basi-
cally a big, uncomfortable mask worn
over the nose or face, which gently
blows air into the back of the throat,
keeping the airway open.
Thanks to new advancements in
the study and treatment of OSA, a
new, smaller, oral OSA appliance is
now available; it can be found in an
unusual place — the dentist's office.
The new device is worn at bedtime
and gently moves the lower jaw for-
ward, opening the airway, which allows
the person to breathe all night without
snoring. Studies have shown a 93 per-
cent success rate with the new appli-
ance as compared to a 50 percent rate
with CPAP.
"Our roles as dentists are being
redefined as the profession grows:'
says Dr. Earl Bogrow of Bogrow and
Associates in Southfield.
"Our profession is morphing into
being oral health specialists. We con-
sult with our OSA patients to see if
they are right for this type of appli-
ance. We also perform oral cancer
screenings and look for malformities
in the mouth!"
Wrning signs for sleep apnea or OSA
are:
• Excessive snoring
• Having a need to take daytime
naps
• Falling asleep at a red light
• Falling asleep at movies or while
watching TV
• Lack of concentration during the
day.
Factors that can lead to OSA are
obesity, heavy drinking, heavy smok-
ing, too much fat in the back of the
throat and large tonsils in children.
These factors coupled with OSA can
lead to congestive heart failure, stroke,
irregular heart beat, cardiovascular
disease and car accidents.
Studies show that OSA patients with
high blood pressure can get off their
HBP meds by using this new appli-
ance, Bogrow says. ❑
