In this webinar, we will discuss how to build the basic structure for a sleep program and equip your dental team to understand the path of treating patients with obstructive sleep apnea. We will first connect with what OSA is and the prevalence of the condition in the practice, then how to screen, and finally a simple protocol to increase case acceptance of a home sleep study. If you are in a state that does not permit the dental involvement of providing home sleep studies this webinar can help you learn a system for referring those patients to the appropriate provider. If you are just starting or looking to take your sleep program to the next level, this webinar is for you!
