Sleep Apnea & Screening: Unpacking the Complexity
for Dental/Airway Health Providers
Empowering the Provider-Patient Collaborative with Dr. David McCarty
Course Overview
“Sleep Apnea” is an increasingly common chairside dental conversation. It's undeniable that the dental office is often the first place where the oropharyngeal airway is critically appraised! In 2017, the American Dental Association recognized the foundational importance of the dental office in identifying and triaging Sleep Apnea, recommending a comprehensive evaluation of airway anatomy and function in a primary dental setting.
However, Sleep Apnea is COMPLEX and overlaps with many other non-airway sources of sleep disruption. It is estimated to affect a billion individuals worldwide, yet only one in five cases has been detected.
What language should we use to unpack this complexity with our patients, so we can better empathize with the intricacies of their journey and collaborate more effectively on their quest to find solutions? How should we frame this complexity for our patients, so they're ready for a treatment journey that may cross over into other areas of consideration?
Join Dr. Dave McCarty on a captivating journey to the Isle of Sleep Apnea, where you will unravel the intricate complexity behind this diagnostic label. Utilizing language and images from the Empowered Sleep Apnea project, this course will empower you to understand and navigate the world of Sleep Apnea. Get ready for an enchanting experience!
