Dental health professionals are often the first to notice symptoms indicative of sleep disorders due to their frequent, detailed interactions with patients. Those symptoms are not always clear, though.
Join CareQuest Institute and the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine for an informative webinar that will provide practical guidance on identifying sleep health concerns during oral evaluations. Our expert panel will detail the crucial role dental professionals play in both the early detection and management of sleep-related disorders. Emphasizing a whole-person, patient-centered care approach, the speakers will also explore common sleep disorders indicated by dental issues, such as sleep apnea, bruxism, and TMJ disorders.
Learning Objectives
- Recognize sleep health issues in dental patients using insights from oral evaluations.
- Explain the impact of sleep health on overall well-being and the importance of related preventive measures.
- Develop strategies to recommend appropriate follow-up actions, including referrals to specialists, for patients showing signs of sleep health issues.
