People are becoming very aware of the dangers caused by the stoppage of breathing while they are asleep. They are looking for answers and very few Dentists are prepared. Take a training course or a seminar, become knowledgeable in the signs and symptoms, the risk factors,and in the various treatment options. Sharpen your expertise.

  • Have your flyers, brochures, and business cards on the “Welcome Table”.

  • Subjects like Sleep Apnea are serious, but to keep the audience entertained, infuse some humor.
