    • Use your dental training to help sleep patients
    • Grow your sleep business

    Start 2023 right; start screening more sleep patients.

  • Q and A with Dr. Mona Patel: TMD and Sleep Understanding the Overlap

    This is the question and answers session following the "TMD and Sleep - Understanding the Overlap" webinar with Dr. Mona Patel and Michael Cowen

    Description:
    Screening patients is not just about the form you use.


    It isn’t about the Mallampati or the Epworth.


    It’s all about the daily impact on the patient. 


    Unfortunately, patients are often skeptical or confrontational about their issues.


    Dr. Mona Patel explores the depths of Sleep Related Breathing disorders' comorbidities. 


    We are going deeper than forms and intra-oral signs. We will show you the impact this has on the patient so that when you recommend a test you can clearly explain the alternatives to the patient.


    No more excuses. Learn to treatment plan Home Sleep Tests like a filling. 



    Objectives:


    • Define Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) and how to screen patients
    • Understand the relationship between TMD and sleep
    • Explore treatment options for patients with TMD
    • Identify appliances that reduce TMD for patients while treating OSA simultaneously
    • Learn how to get started managing OSA patients
