Ask Your Patients About Sleep & Snoring

As a dentist, you are well versed in the art of asking your patients how often they brush and floss. You’re also probably pretty good at making small talk to get through longer appointments and procedures.

You might want to add a few new questions to your dental conversations. Though these questions may be a little awkward, they can help you provide help to your patients who need it.

Ask your patients if they snore. Ask if their partner complains about their snoring. Ask if they sleep soundly through the night or are experiencing unusual fatigue in the mornings.

If the answer to any of these questions is “Yes”, you may be able to offer a solution in the form of a dental appliance for snoring, like the Lamberg Sleep-Well™ Appliance, the Aligner Sleep Appliance™(ASA), the Full-Breath, or any of a rapidly growing number of options.

Each of these appliances work to help open the patient’s airway during sleep – acting to moderate or even eliminate snoring and help with mild to moderate cases of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Your patient sleeps better. Their partner does too. And you have potentially saved them from the torture of a compromised airway…., just by asking “How you sleeping these days?”

At SML, we offer a variety of dental appliances for snoring. View our catalog today.
