This Hassle-Free Sleep Apnea Test & Treatment Inspired Jeff Deminski to Start the Process

Think you might have sleep apnea? Here's how easy it can be to find out: After writing recently about sleep apnea and how many people may have it without even realizing it, I had one of those moments where you stop and think…wait, what if that’s me?!

Snoring? Check. Waking up tired? Also check.

So instead of doing what most of us do - ignore it and hope for the best - I decided to actually make a call to Federici Dental and see what the process looks like.

And honestly, this is where it got interesting.

I was connected immediately with Donna in their sleep department, and within about three minutes, not exaggerating, she had everything she needed for the intake. Friendly, fast, efficient. No runaround, no complicated process, no “we’ll call you back in a week.”

Just… done.

She explained they’ll check my insurance coverage and, if everything lines up, the next step is an easy virtual appointment with a qualified sleep specialist. From there, they can set you up with a simple at-home sleep test. That’s right. A lot of people can do this at home today. No overnight lab, no wires everywhere, no strangers staring at you through a window while you’re trying to fall asleep, no stress.

That part really stood out to me.

And here’s something else worth knowing: This isn’t some random office dabbling in sleep apnea. Dr. David Federici is actually a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine, which is considered the highest level of training in treating obstructive sleep apnea. He's one of a relatively small number of dentists nationwide to hold that distinction.

They also work directly with physicians and pulmonologists and help coordinate these at-home sleep studies and treatment options based on what you actually need. Because if you’re like most people, the idea of going somewhere overnight for testing is enough to make you put this off forever.

For those with mild or moderate sleep apnea, or patients with severe sleep apnea who cannot use a CPAP machine, Dr. Federici can offer an oral appliance that looks similar to a sports mouthguard or retainer. This custom-fit dental device gently repositions the jaw to help keep airways open during sleep.

Dr. Federici uses more than 10 types of FDA- and Medicare-approved appliances to find the one that works best for your severity of sleep apnea and your anatomy.

Remember: Sleep apnea isn’t just about snoring. It can affect your overall health and energy in ways a lot of us shrug off, and the American Medical Association estimates that about 24 million Americans have undiagnosed sleep apnea.

I’ll keep you posted on what happens next, but if you’ve been wondering about it like I have, making that first call might be a lot easier than you think. Get started today at federicidental.com or by calling 609-597-1234.
