Breathing and Airway Support - a Medical and Dental Collaboration

With over a billion people worldwide, and nearly 30 million in the US breathing badly during sleep, the cost to quality of life and healthcare is unimaginable. Dentists are increasingly taking on some of the functions of primary care doctors as they see people more frequently and apply their long-held preventive focus. The field of sleep and breathing is a part of medicine readily available to the trained dentist.

Description:

Overview

This course will introduce dentists and their team to: why they should be involved, key information to share with patients and team members, and practical actions every dentist can take right away. If you are curious about sleep and breathing and how it might work for you, or if this part of your practice has waned a bit from previous implementation, this course will give you confidence to immediately provide vital services that will reward your patients, your team, and you with gratitude and business success.

The virtual participants can join the breathing workshop and watch closely as professional interim devices are created and discussed. The New Orleans learners will have hands-on experience with those devices and some overnight sleep test equipment. Everyone will take away how dentists can use simple devices to assess improvements in breathing with use of various treatment systems.

‍
