The Dental Handoff

In this week's Dental Handoff, Dr. Kelly Tanner makes the dental handoff to Dr. Dave McCarty, who joins the show to dive into the often-overlooked - but critically important - subject of sleep apnea. What can dental offices to do empower themselves to help identify the risks in their patients? Tune into this important conversation to find out!

Dr. Dave McCarty is a board-certified specialist in Sleep Medicine and a pioneer in the practice of patient-centered care for those who suffer from sleep disorders. An award-winning educator, he is passionate about empowering individuals with knowledge that restores  confidence and personal agency, as each patient navigates the landscape of disease and wellness, within an increasingly fragmented healthcare system.  

He is the co-creator of Empowered Sleep Apnea, an innovative cross-platform educational project combining storytelling, cartooning, scientific rigor, and quite a bit of fun, all in the name of helping individuals (and providers) navigate the fascinating but complex disorder known as “Sleep Apnea.”

In 2023, the project comprises a website,  a book (Empowered Sleep Apnea: A Handbook for Patients and the People Who Care About Them, co-authored with Ellen Stothard, PhD), a blog (Dave’s Notes) and a podcast (Empowered Sleep Apnea: THE PODCAST).
