[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dentist (out of network) had me do an at home test on my finger for sleep apnea, said I had a number of drops, and then wanted me to allow a company to contact me. I asked for the name of the company, googled it, and came up with a page advertising itself to dentists as a way to grow their practice.

I could have sleep apnea - but I think I should investigate it through my medical doctor and insurance, right? [/quote]

Yes. Sleep apnea should be treated by a sleep doctor. The thing on your finger isn't a standard for diagnosing sleep apnea. You were given a ring that measures oxygen in your blood and when it drops as you are sleeping, you are more than likely experiencing apnea. People can buy their own recording oxygen monitor to see if they have apnea. You need a sleep doctor to do a more detailed test as there are different types of apnea that might require different treatment. The best treatment of sleep apnea is to use a cpap machine.  Dental devices and surgeries are rarely effective. [/quote]
