I've had the opportunity to sit down and have a deep and enlightening conversation with Jennifer Lyman, a devoted dental hygienist with a heart for recognizing signs of sleep apnea in children. It was fascinating to hear about her journey and how her experiences have shaped her practice and fueled her passion for educating others about sleep apnea, a potentially fatal condition that we should all be aware of. 

We also got to talk about the beneficial effects of myofunctional therapy in dealing with sleep apnea and other oral health issues. Jennifer shed light on the signs and symptoms we should look out for in both children and adults, along with the connections between sleep apnea and conditions like ADHD. She emphasized the criticality of referral to sleep centers and the potential hazards of ignoring what may seem as trivial as snoring. 

Towards the end, we tackled the complexities surrounding medical billing in dental sleep medicine and explored the essentials needed to successfully implement oral appliance therapy or myofunctional therapy. Jennifer underlined the importance of a dedicated team and the value of continual coaching and training. We also discussed how to navigate insurance coverage and ensure a smooth billing process for patients. For those eager to learn more, Jennifer shared her contact information. After listening to this enriching conversation, I'm sure you'll appreciate the crucial role oral health plays in our overall well-being.
