Top Madison Dentist, at Oak Park Dental, Dr. Jana Gyurina of Oak Park Dental completes course on CPAP Alternatives and Dental Sleep Medicine
(Madison, WI – January 2010) Oak Park Dental is proud to announce that owner, Dr. Jana Gyurina, has completed a course focusing specifically on CPAP Alternatives and Dental Sleep Medicine with Dr. Ira Shapira.
Dr. Ira Shapira, a notable Chicago Dentist, teaches dentists from all around the United States about Dental Sleep Medicine techniques that allow patients to utilize comfortable oral appliances to treat Sleep Apnea.
The treatment of Sleep Apnea consisted of CPAP or painful surgery for many years. CPAP is still considered the Gold Standard of treatment for Sleep Apnea but oral appliances and dental Sleep Medicine are taking center stage in the treatment of obstructive Sleep Apnea. The AASM (American Academy of Sleep Medicine) now considers oral appliances a first line treatment for snorers and mild Sleep Apnea.
This is incredibly important because even though CPAP is incredibly effective, the majority of patients do not tolerate it. Studies have shown only 23-42% of patients continue to use CPAP machines at home. A recent study revealed 60% failure rate of CPAP compliance.
Untreated sleep apnea is deadly with patients suffering up to a six fold increase in heart attacks and strokes. More dangerous to the public is the fact that untreated sleep apnea patients have slower reaction times than someone who is legally drunk. There is a six-fold increase in motor vehicle accidents (MVA) in patients with untreated sleep apnea and a 300% increase in MVA involving serious injuries.
If you or a loved one are affected by Sleep Apnea and would like more information on oral appliances, contact Dr. Jana Gyurina at Oak Park Dental at (608)833-4466 or visit our website www.MadisonCosmeticDentist.com.
