Dr. Gerry Samson is a dual-trained pediatric/ortho legend and founder of Gnathos, a continuing education platform teaching pediatric dentists valuable orthodontic skills. He practiced for 40+ years and continues to lecture and teach at various institutions. His list of accolades is too extensive to list so just trust me on this... he knows a thing or two about occlusion and the growing dentition.
I invited him to come on the podcast and talk about a controversial topic of his choice, so we settled on airway dentistry in pediatric patients. Some of the things we discuss:
- Sleep disordered breathing
- Should we be referring kids for tonsillectomies?
- The value of a second opinion to limit liability
- Communication tips for parents
- Structuring relationship with pediatricians
- Are we over-treating tongue and lip ties?
