This week Nexus Connexus connects with our veterans. If you are a dentist, a veteran, or someone who loves a veteran, this show is for you.
Our veteran population through the Veterans Administration, are a population that experiences a higher than normal rate of sleep issues, and Nexus is proud to be one solution for those Vets with Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Through partnerships with local dentists, Nexus is able to serve those who served our nation.
This week we'll hear from Founder Brett Brocki, on why caring for our veteran population is so important for him.
Next, we'll hear from Dr. Kevin Eatmon, of Georgia who has been deploying appliances to this community for a while, and what success he has experienced in the practice.
Lastly, we'll hear from Dr. Marc Newman, who's in the process of onboarding with Nexus, and what that process has been like.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and other sleep-related breathing disorders affect an estimated 20 million Americans. As many as 70 million are undiagnosed with potentially life threatening consequences. And it's not just big guys who are impacted. Nearly 1 in 5 women have sleep apnea, but 9 out of 10 women who have it, don't realize it.
And it doesn't affect just adults. 2-3% of children are believed to have sleep apnea, with the disorder believed to be as high as 10-20% in children who habitually snore.
