At Dental School I was taught that we have 2 opportunities as clinicians to save a patient’s life. One was mouth cancer diagnosis (obviously) and the other was a patient with GORD who may develop Barrett’s Oesophagus. However, as I look back now, I do believe dental school missed something out….and that is Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB).
There is no formal acknowledgement of Airway in the dental curriculum.
What you will learn from this episode with a leader in this field Prof Ama Johal is that a team approach is needed. If the Sleep Physician is Team Leader, we as Dentists are SECOND in the pecking order, above ENT! That signifies the massive role we have to play in treating SDB. We discuss:
Prof Ama Johal is highly regarded within Orthodontics and dentistry, for the standard of his clinical work and published research. He is the Vice President of the British Society of Dental Sleep Medicine (BSDSM) and Professor at Bart’s and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry.
