Dentist Devotes Practice to Snoring Problems
I thought that this was a pretty interesting news story. A dentist has dedicated his practice to helping people with their snoring problems. It isn’t that common to see a story like this, so I know I had to blog about it.
New York (PRWEB) July 7, 2009 — David Binder, D.D.S., “The Manhattan Dentist,” has dedicated his practice to public service, in the form of educating the public about the dangers of Snoring and Sleep Apnea. As a Diplomate of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, Dr. Binder has been recognized for having special qualifications to treat Snoring and Sleep Apnea by offering Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT) to his patients. Snoring and Sleep Apnea are dangerous afflictions that affect not only those who suffer, but the people around them and the general population. For more information, call (212) 753-0500.
For 17 years, Dr. Binder has recognized the enormity of the public health crisis created by the approximately 20 million people in the United States who are undiagnosed. Both conditions can be signs and causes of high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, diabetes, erectile dysfunction, and depression – not to mention daytime drowsiness, which can be deadly for drivers, pilots, passengers and others. “It’s a privilege to offer OAT to patients who previously suffered from these not-so-silent afflictions,” says Dr. Binder, “and the appreciation shown by those whose lives have been so markedly improved by OAT is quite gratifying.”
