Dr. Patrick Cieplak Completes CE Course, Offers Modern Sleep Apnea and Snoring Treatment in La Plata, MD

LA PLATA, Md., September 19, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dr. Patrick Cieplak recently completed a continuing education training focused on analyzing and treating issues related to Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) problems like sleep apnea. This course helps him and his team continue to treat patients experiencing issues like excessive snoring, daytime fatigue and headaches by addressing underlying dental problems.

SDB is a widespread issue that affects millions of people according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. During episodes of sleep apnea or other SDB conditions, people stop breathing while they are at rest. During the course of one evening, a sufferer may experience hundreds of moments of being unable to fully breathe. Consequently, he or she may awaken suddenly due to gasping, choking and/or snoring.

Dental practitioners like Dr. Cieplak have discovered that for some patients, managing their SDB may lie in making a connection between the teeth, gums and jaw and the disordered breathing. For instance, some respond well to working with their dentists to treat SDB and reduce the condition's overall effects using orthodontics.

Because each case of SDB is unique, one treatment type does not fit every situation. As the continuing education course explained, certain SDB patients may respond well to having an adjustment of an improper bite, or malocclusion, in La Plata, MD. Malocclusions occur when the teeth do not fit together precisely, making it challenging or impossible for the jaw to correctly close. After remedying the malocclusion, the patient may find breathing at rest easier, allowing him or her to avoid the long-term complications of SDB including systemic concerns like increased chance of heart disease or stroke.

Those with SDB or sleep apnea can make an appointment with Dr. Cieplak at 301-609-9999 to talk about their difficulty sleeping, snoring and daytime fatigue, and to receive customized, advanced care.
