The gateway to obstructive breathing during sleep hinges on the oral cavity in most patients. Dentists are uniquely situated to help address this problem. Currently this COVID 19 pandemic has most likely disrupted your practice. Why not take this time to learn how you can enhance your practice, while also addressing important needs of your patients?

 

This one-hour CE webinar addresses:
  • The role of telemedicine in linking you and your patients with medical specialist that can assist you in your practice. You will learn how to screen your patients for sleep apnea, initiate an evaluation, and be prepared to implement appliance therapy, when appropriate, when getting-back to your clinical routine.
  • Understanding the full-spectrum on sleep-related breathing disturbances, from severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS) and how sleep-bruxism relates to airway dynamics.
  • The role of CPAP and other treatment approaches, and the importance of proper airway treatment, particularly during this current COVID 19 crises.

    The objective of this webinar is to enhance your practice, expand your understanding of dental sleep medicine, and ultimately reward you, your team and your patients.

    Jerald H. Simmons, MD, is the Founding-Director of The Sleep Education Consortium (SEC) and Comprehensive Sleep Medicine Associates, PA (CSMA). He is Triple Board-Certified in Neurology, Epilepsy and Sleep Medicine. Dr. Simmons created the SEC as an outreach to educate the healthcare community and has worked with dentists for 30-years. He currently leads a task force that is working to establish simple, quick, screening techniques to identify sleep-related breathing disturbances in children, that will hopefully be implemented by dentists nationwide.
