What the appointment may involve
History, oral findings, and screening tools may lead to referral to a physician or sleep specialist.
Good to know before choosing care
A dentist does not replace a medical sleep diagnosis; untreated sleep apnea can be serious.
Questions worth asking a practice
- What exam or records are needed before confirming that dental sleep apnea screening is appropriate?
- What alternatives, material choices, risks, and likely follow-up should I consider?
- Who will perform the procedure, and does my situation call for a specialist?
- What does the estimate include, and how will insurance benefits or financing be verified?
