A Two-and-a-Half-Day Seminar
Are You Ready to Grow Your Practice in a New Area of Dentistry? Learn the most successful methods for evaluating and treating snoring and sleep apnea presented by Jonathan A. Parker, D.D.S. one of the country's premier educators in dental sleep medicine.
40% of the adults in your dental practice are snorers. Many of them also suffer from the symptoms of sleep apnea. With your help they can soon improve their sleep and the sleep of those around them. The “Sleep Solutions in Dentistry ” seminar offers valuable information for incorporating or growing your practice of dental sleep medicine and can lead to a positive impact on the lives of your patients and your practice.
During this two-and-a-half-day course you will learn about sleep medicine from a dental perspective. The course provides you with information on basic and advanced techniques in examination, testing and treatment. In addition, we will cover the most effective approach to develop a good working relationship with the sleep medicine physicians and sleep disorders centers in your community.
We will discuss important issues of practice management including recommendations for marketing, insurance reimbursement and day-to-day practice operations.
The first half -day provides an overview of sleep medicine, covering sleep physiology, signs, symptoms, effects and medical treatments of OSA. The second day incorporates lecture and hands-on experiences. During the third day you will be in the operatory during direct patient care learning the details of managing these patients. The small class size provides a wonderful learning environment, allows interesting one-on-one interactions, and provides personal attention to your questions. This course will enhance your confidence in treating snoring and sleep apnea and gives you the tools to successfully incorporate this new area of dentistry into your practice.
The advanced course has been designed with your input. This seminar is available only to dentists who have completed other basic courses in Dental Sleep Medicine, such as “Sleep Solutions in Dentistry,” and have been treating patients with oral appliance therapy.
For the professional who is serious about Dental Sleep Medicine, the format of lecture and open forum participation in this seminar provides an exceptional opportunity for learning.
The two-day course includes clinical and business components for both the Dentist and staff. Designed to take advantage of a combination of lecture and interactive conversation, this seminar evolves each time it is given, to provide cutting edge information on the newest techniques and treatment options.

This presentation will provide an excellent, comprehensive overview of snoring and OSA from the dental perspective. Use of oral appliances for treatment of snoring and OSA is growing rapidly as our understanding of the problem and the effectiveness of these devices becomes more evident. This humorous, fast-paced presentation will give you the practical clinical information you need to immediately start working with your patients (and their spouses) who are suffering with these sleep disorders. As public awareness of these sleep disorders continues to increase, the role of the dentist in identifying and treating snoring and OSA becomes more important. You will learn the current state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment options to accurately evaluate the patient and a step-by-step approach to appropriately treat the patient with an oral appliance therapy program.
Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can be the source of significant social problems in addition to having a negative impact on a person’s overall health. Half of the adults in our dental practices are snorers and at least ten percent of those people have OSA. The dentist can play an important role in identifying and treating patients with snoring and OSA. This upbeat presentation will provide an excellent overview of these sleep disorders and will focus on the use of oral appliances for managing these conditions.
