Janice Hall Ormsby, D.D.S. Joins IhateCPAP.com

    ITHACA, NY, August 14, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Cosmetic, sedation, orthodontic and TMJ dentist Janice Hall Ormsby of East Shore Dental Care in Ithaca, New York, is pleased to announce her family dental practice has joined with www.ihatecpap.com, an organization of cosmetic and general dentists seeking to treat obstructive sleep apnea.

The dentists of Ihatecpap.com evaluate and diagnose sleep apnea symptoms so that a custom-designed treatment can be created to reduce sleeping problems. Sleep apnea is a dangerous condition that affects as many as 20% of the population and is the result of an airway blockage during sleep, which causes snoring. As a result, sleep apnea causes the patient to wake up to catch their breath. Since this can occur hundreds of times a night in the worst cases, sleep deprivation is one of the symptoms. Oxygen levels in the blood can be reduced as much as 50%, which leads to a high risk of stroke or heart attack.

IhateCPAP.com offers alternative ways in which to treat sleep apnea that don't involve the cumbersome equipment of continuous positive airway pressure. This is because, although CPAP is the gold standard for treating sleep apnea, it will not be right for many patients.

"Seeking treatment for suspected sleep apnea is important," says Dr. Ormsby. "That's why we're happy to be associated with a group focused on treating this life-threatening condition like ihateCPAP."
