At California Dental Sleep Solutions, telemedicine refers to virtual consultations offered by Dr. Martinez, allowing you to receive evaluations for sleep apnea without needing to visit the office. You can connect with Dr. Martinez from the comfort of your home, car, or office using your computer, tablet, or smartphone. Our telemedicine services adhere to HIPAA regulations, ensuring your privacy is maintained.

Utilizing telemedicine at California Dental Sleep Solutions offers several advantages, including:

• Convenience: Access care from anywhere.

• Time Savings: Eliminate travel time.

• Cost-Effectiveness: Reduce expenses associated with in-office visits.

• Health Safety: Avoid exposure to sick patients.

• Personalized Care: Receive tailored treatment just like in an office visit.

During telemedicine appointments, you can expect the same high-quality care as you would during in-person consultations.

When your appointment begins, Dr. Martinez will engage in a live video chat with you. She will review your medical history and inquire about your sleep habits and any symptoms you might be experiencing, such as:

• Loud Snoring: This may indicate airway obstruction and is often associated with sleep apnea.

• Daytime Sleepiness: Feeling excessively tired during the day can result from poor sleep quality caused by interrupted breathing.

• Morning Sore Throats or Headaches: These symptoms can arise from mouth breathing during sleep.

• Gasping for Air: Experiencing breath pauses or gasping during the night may signal sleep apnea.

• Difficulty Concentrating: Issues with focus, irritability, and mood swings are often linked to inadequate sleep.

• Jaw Pain and TMJ Symptoms: Problems such as teeth grinding or jaw clenching can also be discussed.

Based on your assessment, Dr. Martinez may recommend X-rays, imaging tests, or a sleep study to further evaluate your condition and discuss potential treatment options.

Telemedicine evaluations with California Dental Sleep Solutions provide a pathway for patients to receive specialized care for sleep apnea without needing to come to the office. Dr. Martinez, a qualified sleep specialist, will conduct a thorough assessment and may suggest various treatment options to help improve your sleep and breathing.

One effective treatment is oral appliance therapy, which utilizes custom-made mouthguards to reposition the jaw or tongue, enhancing airflow and reducing teeth grinding. Additionally, Dr. Martinez might recommend lifestyle changes such as adjusting sleep positions, losing weight, regular exercise, or using a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine.
