Choosing a Dentist
The dentist you choose to treat your problem with sleep disordered breathing must be properly educated and with adequate experience.
Legally, any dentist can treat snoring and/or sleep apnea with an oral appliance, however, that does not mean that every dentist has the necessary experience and training to provide proper therapy. As snoring and sleep apnea can be deleterious to your health it is imperative that you choose a dentist with the special and necessary qualifications.
Dentists cannot legally make the diagnosis of primary snoring, upper airway resistance syndrome or obstructive sleep apnea. This means that the dentist you choose must be able to work closely with your physician to determine an appropriate treatment regimen.
