A Two 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-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 day incorporates lecture and hands-on experiences. During the second 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 and 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.
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.
