Why Visit Marilyn Calvo DDS?
If you’re suffering from sleep apnea, you have the right to healthcare that avails you of all options for successful treatment. Among those options are dental procedures and appliances that can relieve the symptoms of this disorder and which can restore life to normal again. Marilyn Calvo DDS has an extensive knowledge of sleep apnea and the practices of dentistry that can relieve it. She also has a philosophy of working with her patients to achieve the best possible outcomes. For patients, that means being informed along every step of the way.
A doctor, or any other healthcare professional, should never be condescending to their patients. Part of being a successful practitioner is being able to communicate; to inform patients of what’s going on with their bodies, what types of treatment may offer them relief and what outcomes and consequences they can expect as a result of those treatments. This always works better when a doctor is willing to have a conversation with their patients, rather than talking down to them. Marilyn Calvo DDS follows this philosophy. She has extensive knowledge of sleep apnea and is more than willing to share it with her patients.
This is not solely for the benefit of the patient. Doctors fortunate enough to have patients who take an active and positive role in their own healthcare tend to fare better. Of course, happy patients are a vested interest, in addition to a personal one. Being empowered starts with being informed and Marilyn Calvo DDS is committed to giving her patients all the information they need to ensure that they get the best possible results from their treatments. Sleep apnea is a serious disorder and, as such, it is best taken on from a position of knowledge rather than from one of confusion.
Marilyn Calvo DDS can offer an array of treatments that provide viable alternative to nCPAP machines. Some patients find the machines too difficult to sleep with and, thus, may choose not to use them, foregoing the benefits of their treatment and possibly putting them at grave risk to their health. Dr. Calvo is able to construct and fit appliances that can relieve the symptoms of sleep apnea. These must be prescribed by a sleep physician and many such a doctor has sent their patients to Marilyn Calvo DDS for relief from their sleep apnea.
If you find yourself unable to deal with an nCPAP machine or don’t want to have surgery to change the structure, or reduce the amount of tissue in, your throat, consider dentistry as an option. It has excellent results for mild to moderate sleep apnea. It also allows the patient to avoid the trauma of surgery and the inconvenience of a nCPAP machine. Marilyn Calvo DDS is well-versed in the disorder and the treatments for it, and offers patients healthcare that starts with understanding the problem and that ends with proven, effective and sophisticated dentistry that can provide relief.
