Home sleep apnea tests (HSATs) are a convenient and effective way to diagnose sleep apnea, a common sleep disorder that can lead to serious health problems. Dentists are uniquely qualified to prescribe HSATs because they are trained to identify the signs and symptoms of sleep apnea and to order the appropriate tests.
HSATs are typically worn overnight and measure breathing patterns, heart rate, and oxygen levels. The results of the test can help dentists diagnose sleep apnea and determine the severity of the condition. HSATs are a safe and effective way to diagnose sleep apnea, and they can be done in the comfort of your own home.
