Dental Sleep Medicine for the General Dental Team

Steve Carstensen, DDS, a diplomate of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, will lead the continuing education (CE) course in which attendees will earn 11 hours of CE. The first day provides an overview of sleep-disordered breathing and what the dental team can do to help patients, the basics of sleep, dental appliances, how to work with sleep physicians to raise awareness, and the role that medical insurance plays in covering sleep disorder treatment. The second day includes a hands-on workshop about dental appliances and reporting on sleep issues.
