It's Good to Breathe Well at Every Age/Sleep Apnea Panel Discussion

It’s Good to Breathe Well at Every Age:How Dentists Help Every Patient 8:00 - 9:00AM

From neonates to the elderly, every patient who breathes poorly at night can be helped by a trained dentist. This program shows the practicing dentist how to identify, communicate with, treat, and follow any patient with an airway problem. We don’t have one treatment that works for everyone, so the best clinicians will apply the right treatment to the right patient. Your conversations, examinations, and decisions will change with the information you will learn.

Learn to:

• be able to screen for airway problems using the right tool for each patient
• know what information is critical to gather for each age group within their practice
• have confidence that everyone they treat will have their best match between problem and therapy
