Airway Dentistry: Sleep Apnea, Snoring & Other Disorders

Course overview

From bad breath to bad breathing... The dental office is often the first place that patient airway issues are discovered. We cover the most prevalent disorders of the airway, including sleep apnea and snoring, and how they affect your patient's dental care and quality of life. The dental team will learn how to identify signs and symptoms in both adults and children that may go unnoticed or seem unrelated to airway issues. This course also covers sleep and airway terminology, working with physicians or sleep labs, and an overview of oral appliances. This is a valuable course for any clinician interested in airway-focused dental care.
