Description:

Is there a link between disordered breathing during sleep (including snoring, upper airway resistance syndrome, and sleep apnea), periodontal disease, and arterial plaque buildup? Absolutely. This eye-opening two-part program reveals how these interconnected conditions position dentistry at the forefront of whole-body health. Designed for both dentists and hygienists, this course will demonstrate how to screen, test, and manage these critical yet often overlooked relationships. Participants will explore how Integrative Dental Medicine (IDM) connects airway, oral health, and systemic inflammation and how to apply this knowledge in clinical practice. This course empowers dental professionals to take a more active role in systemic health through advanced diagnostics and collaborative care.

Learn to:

• use the IDM Checklist to connect breathing disorders, periodontal disease, and arterial plaque
• understand and apply the 3 pillars of Integrative Dental Medicine
• utilize high-resolution pulse oximetry and salivary testing to screen for and monitor systemic risk
