Did you know that dentists play a key role in treating sleep apnea? Left untreated, sleep apnea can cause high blood pressure, stroke, heart conditions and diabetes. Did you know there are hundreds of undiagnosed patients in your practice suffering from sleep apnea? Dentists have a unique opportunity to detect and treat this debilitating condition in patients who may never have sought help. This webinar is designed as an overview on dental sleep medicine and how you can improve your patients’ overall health and quality of life while building your practice.
This lecture is based on real-life day-to-day practice and implemented techniques that have led to successful results with OSA therapy. Attention is given to the four steps to successful implementation – Awareness, Diagnosis, Financials, Treatment.
Learning Objectives
- Define sleep apnea and distinguish between its different types
- Identify the health consequences of untreated sleep apnea
- Implement strategies to create awareness within the hygiene department
- Evaluate available treatment options for sleep apnea
- Explain how oral appliance therapy works
