Hi talk2us@finetunegums.com!

Great question. The way we usually see this handled (as long as your state allows a DDS/DMD to dispense a home sleep test) is that the dental office can explain to the patient that the SCREENING home sleep study indicated they have signs and symptoms suggestive of sleep apnea, but follow up with a sleep physician is highly recommended to confirm or deny a diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, but is also very important to confirm or rule out other potential issues that may not be identified from a sleep test that a physician needs to determine (i.e. restless leg syndrome, central sleep apnea, etc etc). This will also make sure the medical community in your area knows you are trying to partner with them rather than do it all yourself, so great way to go :)

Hope this helps, please feel free to contact us with any further questions!
