The Sleep Education Consortium is present the Sleep Education Consortium Conference: Integrating the Growing Role of the Dentist into the Medical Treatment Team for Sleep Disorders.

This conference architects the growing link between dentistry and sleep medicine, and it will become clear how the dentist can play a larger role in the overall health of patients.

In an effort to provide the best educational experience the conference provides lectures specifically designed to address the educational needs of the DDS., and the second day of lectures is open to all health care professionals and has a broader range of sleep related lecture topics.

By addressing the patients’ questions regarding sleep issues, the dentist and support staff can be grounded in the broader aspect of sleep disorders on a basic level. The conference will allow the dentist and support staff to become familiar with a multitude of sleep problems, and they can be more responsive to questions patients may ask as the dentist screens for sleep disorders within their practice. The educational methods will include lectures, Q&A, and panel discussion.
