Mark Murphy: COVID-19 & Dental Sleep Medicine; What Should We Do?

Sadly, the novel coronavirus pandemic continues its life-threatening devastation across the globe. Mark Murphy, DDS has immersed himself in monitoring the pandemic’s trajectory, becoming Dental Sleep Medicine’s version of Tony Fauci.

In this timely episode, Dr. Murphy & the ZZZ Pack discuss current COVID-19 statistics, models regarding its spread, the importance of gratitude, and he shares the steps he’s taking to continue safely treating patients with Oral Appliance Therapy.

This episode provides fantastic, actionable information and DSM guidance during uncertain times. Listen. Be smart. Be safe. Be healthy…and be thankful.

Physicians have reservations about Oral Appliance Therapy and, historically, they have had good reasons. Unhygienic appliances, poor efficacy, discomfort, side effects and lack of collaboration with medicine have compromised the relationship. Recent advances in precision engineered designs, telemedicine and improvements in materials and manufacturing are changing all that. With ProSomnus Therapy, you have state of the art precision medical devices that physicians love. If you want to work with medicine, and do more Dental Sleep, choose ProSomnus Sleep Technologies.

“In order to deliver a comprehensive treatment approach to sleep apnea, we must understand the numerous associated comorbid conditions, and we must appreciate the most viable and proven therapeutic alternatives. Having a periodical that includes a wide variety of topics spanning the breadth of medical and dental sleep medicine is an invaluable resource.”

Dr Alison Kole

“What I love most about Dental Sleep Practice (DSP) Magazine is its comprehensive approach to collaboration. DSP goes beyond the partnership between sleep specialists and dentists to include insights from various healthcare professionals, fostering a truly multidisciplinary approach. The magazine addresses disparities in care by highlighting the needs of underrepresented populations and advocating for more equitable treatment options. It constantly challenges traditional methods for treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by showcasing the latest research and innovative therapies. Additionally, DSP offers valuable perspectives on the business aspects of sleep dentistry, providing practical advice on practice management. For me, DSP is an all-encompassing resource that supports and inspires professionals committed to advancing the field of sleep medicine and dentistry.”

Dr. Kevin Boyd

“I first became aware of Dental Sleep Practice when editor Steve Carstensen asked if he could interview me after hearing me speak at the AACP meeting in Austin in 2015. In the Winter 2016-DSP issue Steve composed a very informative article about how Dr. Janet Pannarella, my Primary Care General Practitioner (PCD-GP) partner and I had augmented my conventional Chicago Pedo practice into a Sleep and Airway health-focused office for children afflicted with non self-correcting early childhood malocclusion, or ECM (i.e., under six years old) with associated Sleep Disordered Breathing symptoms. The DSP article was entitled ‘Don’t Call it Orthodontics’ and was complementary to other articles Dr.s Mayoor Patel, Mark Cruz and others, that had all been keenly focused upon one basic principle: ‘As potentially associated negative QOL and general health co-morbidities can be devastating, please don’t wait for ECM to become more complex before initiating validated risk assessment, timely and effective orthodontic/dentofacial orthopedic treatments. Having DSP as a way to share new thinking is a valuable resource for all health care professionals.”
