Trouble at School? Check Children For Sleep Apnea

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 24, 2012

Behavior problems in children can be the result of chronic sleep problems, such as sleep-disordered breathing or obstructive sleep apnea. Sleep deprived children display different symptoms than adults, such as hyperactivity, moodiness, and poor performance in school. Monitoring a child’s sleep for frequent snoring, gasping for breath, night sweats, tossing and turning, and night sweats can indicate a problem which should be addressed by a pediatrician or sleep specialist. Board-Certified Sleep Medicine Specialist Dr. Dan Naim gives tips and advice for parents to detect sleep-disordered breathing in children.

Although not all children who snore have sleep-disordered breathing, it is a common indicator of a serious sleep disorder. Snoring in children may be common, but about one in ten children who snores regularly has obstructive sleep apnea, according to The American Academy of Otolaryngology. Obstructive sleep apnea is characterized by pauses in breathing when the airway becomes blocked which can last for up to a minute at a time, multiple times a night. During the pauses in breathing, or “apneas,” the body reacts as though the child is choking and responds by slowing the heart rate and raising blood pressure, and the brain sends a signal to awaken in order to resume breathing. Left untreated, this problem can result in a number of consequences affecting social interaction, learning, growth, and weight gain.

Los Angeles Sleep Study Institute’s Sleep Specialist Dr. Dan Naim said children should be seen by a sleep specialist and get a sleep study, if parents suspect a sleep-disordered breathing problem. “A sleep study is the only definitive way to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea in both children and adults,” Dr. Naim said.

“Common symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing include loud snoring which is likely due to enlarged tonsils and adenoids,” said Dr. Naim. “The first line of treatment for sleep-disordered breathing in children is surgical removal of the tonsils and adenoids, which is performed successfully on half a million American children every year. The American Sleep Apnea Association reports that adenotonsillectomy results in complete elimination of OSA symptoms 70 to 90 percent of the time.”

Normal weight children who do not respond to surgical removal of the tonsils may be prescribed a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) mask, which has been proven to be well-tolerated and effective in both children and adults. Oral appliances may also be indicated for a child who has anatomical abnormalities, such as a large tongue which can block the airway or a small jaw. Overweight or obese children tend to have improvements in sleep apnea symptoms by losing weight.

Dental Marketing For Sleep Apnea Patient Leads Is Now Easier With New IDA Dental Marketing Plans

(PRWEB) August 22, 2012

Now dentists who provide sleep apnea treatments can save time and get more new patients by implementing an online dental marketing strategy from Internet Dental Alliance, Inc. (IDA). The New Patient Marketing Machine™ is a complete turnkey toolkit that includes dental websites (or Portals), listings in IDA’s nationwide network of online Dental Directories, and a host of other tools – all designed to attract new patients looking for solutions to their snoring and sleep disorders.

According to dental marketing resource TheWealthyDentist.com (TWD), most consumers who suffer from sleep apnea don’t know that dentists can treat it. Moreover, unless dentists are actively promoting sleep apnea treatments as a service their practice offer, other dental professionals in their area won’t be making referrals, either. For dentists who have the clinical skills and requisite continuing dental education, this represents a dental advertising opportunity that could grow their practice and increase the number of high-value patients they treat.

“Many patients don’t realize that their dentist may be able to help them sleep more soundly,” said dental management consulting expert and founder of Internet Dental Alliance, Inc., Jim Du Molin. “Dentists can use their IDA dental website to educate patients as well as other medical professionals about the sleep apnea treatments they offer, and increase the number of high-value patients they see each month.”

The New Patient Marketing Machine™ uses IDA’s proprietary automated LeadFire search engine optimization (SEO) technology to create customized dental websites that attract specific markets online. Using the online Control Panel, the doctor selects sleep apnea as the primary dental market focus. LeadFire then automatically sets up the practice’s primary Web Portal with more than 100 market-targeted and customized lead generation pages in less than 10 minutes.

For additional lead generation, doctors also have a listing on IDA’s Dental Directory at 1stSleepApnea.com. The site serves as a consumer resource for patient prospects who want more information about sleep disorders, snoring, CPAP masks, etc., and who want to find local dentists who offer related treatments. Leads are generated when site visitors fill out an online form to find a local dentist and their contact information is collected.

IDA is North America’s largest provider of dental directories and websites for dentists. It completed its unique Lead Fire lead generation system in 2012. LeadFire technology automates dental SEO and content marketing and allows doctors to begin generating new patient leads within minutes of set up.
